Particle system in the GUI?

by Jonathan Flom · in Torque Game Engine · 04/18/2002 (3:34 pm) · 3 replies

Hi, for the game we are developing we want to use a 3d particle system for one of the items in the HUD. I was wondering, is this possible to use a particle system in the HUD? If it is, have any of you guys any idea of how it may be done?

Thanks

You'd have to get an emitter to be at the right position on screen... then it would be simple... I guess it depends on if you want the particles to interact with the world or not; right now the particle system does interact with the world, so you might have rather a lot of work to seperate it. I'd suggest just doing a custom particle system attached to a GUI control.

A basic particle system, especially when you don't need it to exist in a 3d world, is really easy to write.

Was anyone able to get something together for this? Currently i've got a 100% GUI based game and I want to throw in some particle effects for kicks.
