[CEG] Make a particle appear and rotate in place

Post by Forboding Angel »

Basically, without having the particle change position, I would like to be able to make the particle spin. I must be doign it wrong, because unless the particle is changing position, it won't spin.

Does anyone know how to make a particle spawn and rotate in place without having to change position?

how do you make a particle spin on the move, can post a ceg?
there is directional=true but that only makes it oritentate itself to the direction it is moving...

You can spawn projectiles in newer engine at will, and modify their angles just like that. Also, you can give rotational parameters of some sort to CEG's you spawn, but unsure if that fits the bill.
