Leaving footprints - how would you do this?
i am still trying to understand how players can spawn entities... but i'd like to understand how you might implement "leaving footprints" when players or NPCs walk across certain surfaces?
Forum Discussion
Jay,
1. Is it possible to track the height of the character's feet as they ambulate? What about tracking the height of the feet of a NPC? That might be a problem.
2. The footprints might be able to synchronized with a timer or perhaps thru some sort of trigger boxes. Perhaps trigger boxes placed in two rows, alternating, and skipping spaces? O.O
3. 'return to a pool'. Can you clarify what you mean by that phrase? Thx.
4. Yes, the child triggered asset is a great idea. As is the vague steps/footprints. Footprints need not be accurate in shape, they can be partial one way, partial in another manner, etc.
Questions:
1. Can triggered events fade/die off after a pre-set duration? I mean, sound can-unless it can't and that's not what's happening when I hear sound. Can light?
