\nIt’s a shame I can’t be all Mario and lob fireballs at my enemies. But it’s cool that I can pull flame particles out of the air and into my hands.

\nSo how was I able to become a dragon wizard overnight? From a fellow derg that I didn’t expect to be sending me an invite to join him (Ninja). Originally I was kind of hoping it would be something very cool (not going to say what it was as that would be part of the General blog).
\nAnyway, I saw him playing with particles. I’ve seen others (like Sarge) in the past and asked how they did it, but it just seemed too difficult to do. Ninja on the other hand was willing to show me how to do it, claiming it was “quite easy” to setup.
\n…Let’s just say it took 2+ hours until I finally got it working, and he couldn’t figure out the reason. Had everything set up, but no particles were forming. Then he sent me this<\/a> video and wow did it help majorly! I had to redo the animations (as apparently they’re all set for another avatar instead of mine), and having not messed with Unity (let alone
\nanimations) in awhile, I forgot how to do it.
\nThe guy in the video took a step further and helped to explain just how to do it. Greatly appreciate that. And now, I can play with fire particles! Eee!<\/p>\n

It’s really fun to manipulate them around (as I was demonstrating in the video I did). Though I kind of wish they would respond to faster movements, it’s still fun (and I love how they actually look like small fireballs in my hands).<\/p>\n

\nEDIT: Ninja warned me about this particle system, how it doesn’t always work. As for
\nme, it falls in three categories for friends;
\nA: Ones that can see it perfectly.
\nB: Ones that can’t see it at all.
\nC: Ones that see it spawn in, but never appear in my hands.
\nAs I said in one post in the General blog, I tried to show Jero the effect and he couldn’t see it. I got referred to by DG, and asked him if he knew how to fix it. Yet it was all “you’re kind of wasting your time with those old particles. The upcoming Unity 2018 update will fix that.” But you know me, I want what I have working for everyone right now<\/span>.
\nHe mentions using Final IK… then asks if I know how to use it. Told him the only time I had to, was to get dancing avatars to stay in place.
\nSince he doesn’t either know how to get it to work with this system, I asked if he knew anyone that does.. and he did, a girl named ‘JustRiver’. Asked him if he could speak to
\nher (if it’s OK for me to speak to her about this), and I got the green light.
\n–
\nNow talking to this person, there’s a ‘bit’ of a problem; her computer was taken away by her family (assuming she’s obsessed). She has taken tests that prove she’s not, yet her family doesn’t listen. Why is this important? ..She can’t help me (and she really wanted to). She’s also disappointed at DG for not knowing how Final IK works.
\nBut, despite her predicament, she tried helping me by using Rigidbodies. Though at the end… sadly it didn’t work as expected (it wouldn’t let the particles go to my hands).<\/p>\n

So, it’s something I’m gonna have to deal with ’till the Unity 2018 update (that still doesn’t have a known release date).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
