"Lock AV Yaw" on a mover is what I want on a particle emitter. "Lock
Particle YAW" so my jets stop facing the wrong direction! :P

Lock Particle Yaw :check
Locked Yaw (0° - 360°) :180

Now, if I am missing something, please tell me ;)

[View Quote] Have you tried to different Start Angles? E.g. for Y.

Hi Mauz,

I've tried many things. Have you seen the gliders in AWGate? Have you
noticed their engine exhaust goes UP and not out? I think there is a reason
for that. A lot of the .01 stuff can be omitted, I entered them in trying to
figure out another problem entirely.

Here is my jet particle: (have fun with it!)

Oh, and if you'd like to see the emitter in person, come to Serene near 31S
43E and take on a ride around the island sometime. You'll see what I mean by
the emitter staying the same direction no matter which direction the Mover
faces. Don't mind the flame on your back! It's harmless ;) Maybe

I'm not Mauz, but I just wanted to say that this is what the Preset
feature in 4.1 is for. You didn't need to type all of that info out.
Just need to type a name in the Preset field then click Save Preset,
then post the file from the Presets folder here.

;P

[View Quote] Ahh right, the PE is linked to a Mover.. Yeah I see what you mean.
Would have to be a cleverly waypointed mover that only goes one way :/
Or make turning speed so slow that nobody wants to turn it hehe.
