<div class="IPBDescription">As in looking up</div>Is there any way? been fiddling with a couple of fx ideas which would works best if I could keep a sprite flat (rather than it turning to face you)... but by flat I mean laying down (ie like a poster laying on the floor)... anyone know how or got ideas?

    Just give it Angles set to how you want it to face.

    The combination of both of your advice - using the app to constrain the axis and using the directions... BEAUTIFUL..

    here's a screeny...

    *waits for it to finish compiling...ffs...  gotta hate having only 276 lights but having 3500+ faces to light*

    here we go... eventually I'll be using a particle system to drip onto this sprite...but without making it hold it's position it would have looked pretty sad... me happy now

    sprite needs work tho <!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo-->

    Its the bad guy (I think its Hans Gruber) from Die Hard (cool film that) hence the shooting glass bit (One of the most cringey bits in modern film! )

    Wow, nice effect Hanz.  Did you make that sprite yourself?

    Why don't you put the splash sprite in a PS and then put the name of that PS in the 'Generate System On Collision' field of the dripping water PS.

    BedWT - ya made it in combustion2

    Mouse - because it's one sprite that shows 20 or so splash rings...if it made one of these for every particle...it would be odd <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->

    I meant make a sprite with only one splash ring, so then it would be one splash ring for every drop, it wouldn't even have to be animated
