Particles

[raw patio]

so you render say at (1, 2 ,3) and you want to render at (3, 2, 1) but with 90 deg rot?

Alright thanks

So my goal is to create a particle pattern on a block

But since it’s directional, I need to be able to rotate it around the y axis so it fits on other blocks with other directions

Lets take the line as an example:

loc0 = Position of the block
loc1 = Your end goal

step = amountOfParticles
distance = distance from loc0 to loc1
traveled = 0

while the traveled distance is less than the distance, add step to it and run:
spawn a particle at the position loc0 + traveled

to now rotate it, just rotate loc1 and the particles will follow that line

well rotate loc1 around loc0

don't just rotate loc1

How do I do that?

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22491178/how-to-rotate-a-point-around-another-point this is in 2d

you should be able to do it in 3d

however they need to rotate along a point

not A point

fair point
