Help with Particle Pixel Explosion

mohanlalljason

Hi can someone help me with a particle pixel explosion, I want grey colored squares flying out of my brick floor. I have been playing around with the particle function in an actor and can't figure it out.

I created a 'Particle Effects Simulator' that you can use to build a particle effect and then email yourself the settings if you want to give it a try.

Yes I found this on youtube a month ago very nice work. How can I make the particle go in every direction?

@realworthygames It looks like there is a bug in the HTML version of the project. You should be able to set the particles to go in any direction by setting the Particle Direction Min to 0 and the Particle Direction Max to 360 but I see they just kind of bounce around and don't act like they should. I'll look into it and see if I can fix the issue.

If you want to get that effect using the Particle Behavior while in Gamesalad you can set the Direction of the particles to Random(0, 360).

Also I happen to have a particle effects explosion tutorial that is going to be posted on YouTube on Sunday.
