Hello,
I have a tree that's on fire, just like it looks. The problem is this: the direction of the Wind Force in this fire simulation I made from the niagara system is fixed directional, so it stays as it is when I drag it to the map according to the rotation of my tree, which I assign to another component, Static Mesh Location. As you can see in the background, there are a lot of trees with different rotations, how can I set this niagara to be oriented to the WORLD?
onyx python
can you share the emitter in the niagara?
onyx python
yeah, you have a wind force
onyx python
check the properties in the top if the emitter is in local space
the wind by itself is in world space, so it should not be affected by rotation
but in local space it would
quiet sparrow
oh I'm so dumb I started by learning incompletely
totally makes sense
thanks a lot
onyx python
ah, great, that was it then :)
and if you have some wind system which changes the wind direction you can control that wind force module
quiet sparrow
ah, great, that was it then :)
unfortunately it still changes direction when I rotate it...
onyx python
what is in the add vlocity?
onyx python
what happens if you turn off that module?
quiet sparrow
still not stablized
rotating
I will try it in a new project, there should not be anything wrong, I'll let you know
onyx python
yeah, it is strange
I just made a default fountain, turned off add velocity in it, add just dropped wind force there
and it does not rotate when I rotate the system
quiet sparrow
ok then my project is cursed, I'll try to migrate it to a new project, otherwise everything seems to be a nightmare
thank you for your efforts, thank you very much
onyx python
niagara can be tricky as it is sometimes hard to see the whole picture what is happening and a small thing can break it
I feel that pain :D
also if you just drop the system into the scene does it work similarly?
without attached to a tree
quiet sparrow
yeah it's not attached tho' it's Static Mesh Location
onyx python
yeah, it would spawn all the particles to the origin
but still rotates with the system?
quiet sparrow
yeah I tried to turn it off the particles turned out default origin
but still doesn't work
cursed by the forces that don't want me to finish my project :D, most probably there is nothing to do because the same system works properly in the new project...
I wish I'd tried it from the beginning, but it's still very strange, so much so that I didn't even think it was possible
