particle system that kicks up dust behind a tire
I am creating a vehicle that is driving on a dusty surface and I would like it to kick up a little dust when it is moving but it stops when vehicle is stationary. I have the emmiter all done. I just need to script it on and off when a direction arrow is pressed.
There is a ParticleEmitter.enabled variable that does exactly what you want. just put in your update script something along the lines of
var pe = GameObject.GetComponent("ParticleEmitter");
if(velocity > 1){
pe.enabled = true;
}else{
pe.enabled = false;
}
I probably got some of the syntax wrong, but hopefully you get the idea. See the script reference for the particle emitter: http://unity3d.com/support/documentation/ScriptReference/ParticleEmitter.html
Thats awesome. Thank you very much.
Please use comments to respond to answers, and not new answers. And marking it correct would be greatly appreciated :)
You might also want to use minEmission and maxEmission to scale the number of particles with the velocity of you vehicle.
