- The initializers are no longer there later on when the emitter tries to emit

The reason I am trying to do this is that I want the particles from 2 streams to collide.

Can anyone tell me the best way to approach this? I thought of giving the particles a type and then a custom action that would set their starting position and velocity based on the type. I think I would run into the same problem using initializerGroups to set the types. ]]> http://flintparticles.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=384&Focus=1295#Comment_1295 http://flintparticles.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=384&Focus=1295#Comment_1295 Thu, 12 Aug 2010 17:19:50 +0100 sheisdigital
- use MultiZone in Position initializer to have particles originate from different zones
- create custom initializer for either Rotation or Velocity that changes the particles velX and Y based on starting location ]]> http://flintparticles.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=384&Focus=1299#Comment_1299 http://flintparticles.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=384&Focus=1299#Comment_1299 Sun, 15 Aug 2010 19:00:38 +0100 Richard
I ran a test using the InitializerGroups with different Position initializers and a Steady counter and it seems to work fine. This would be the preferred way to create the effect you're after, so I'm concerned that you couldn't get it working. Do you still have the source code for your original attempt using the InitializerGroups? If you do, can you post it here so I can try to find why it didn't work for you. Thank you.
