Player trail?

[d3mentidd]

Just curious, is there any possible way through mme scripting to add a full time player trail? Somthing exactly like the player haste trail would be perfect, just all the time and not just when the powerup is active.

Thanks in advanced for any input / answers.

Well actually you can.
You'd have to make an fx script that will emit particles using whatever way you want.
Then you can use clientoverride's headFX/torsoFX "fxname" to select a specific fx script to be run at the head or torso location.

harekiet.stekel.org/q3/weeee.avi that was one i did a while ago, with particles coming from the head.

got it thank you for your help!

Edit:
ok i have added the trail i like to torsoFX, my problem now is that no matter what i do, the emitter seems to emit right out of the player's crack. is there any way to offset the emitter position lower so it emits at the player's feet? i have a decent grasp on fx scripting so a simple line of code if possible would be extremely helpful.

Thanks again

you can modify the origin
so euhm
origin2 origin2 - 10
would make it 10 units lower

//The script used for that movie
mine/sparkles {
//Store inverse velocity into v0
inverse velocity v0
normalize v0
//Slightly increase the y value of v0
v01 v01 + 0.1
distance 0.3 {
wobble v0 velocity 10 + rand*30
scale velocity velocity 100 + rand*150
size 10 + rand*5
width 3
shader flareShader
alpha 0.8
//Pick a random color hue that is somewhat blueish
colorHue 0.5 + 0.2 *rand
emitter "0.6 + rand*0.3" {
moveGravity 200
colorFade 0.6
Spark
}
}
}
