How do I get particles to not go through solids?

I have a shotgun that sprays bullets and also little particles that make it look like more shot. The particles themselves do no damage to the enemies just add a lot for visual flair. I have had to remove the particles though because they fly through all walls and everything but now the shotgun blast is pretty boring.

Is there a way to stop particles from going through solids or any particular objects?

If it is a problem you should make your own particle system using Sprites.

Katala, oh ok so there is no such solution using particles?

rought outline of how to make your own particle generator

create a blank sprite called, uhh, generator or something.

on every tick

percentage chance qualifier

-> spawn mysprite

mysprite on create

-> set random angle/speed/etc

Now you can use the "bullet" behavior on mysprite to make it prevent going through objects flagged as solid.

"Solids or any particular object" is overlapping "Particles"...."Particles" Destroy

i'm not at a pc with C2 right now but is that possible? Solids only work with a few of the predefined behaviors and particles are not listed. Nor do I remember being able to set a specific sprite for particles, the sprite its self is the particle.

Maybe I'm wrong. I'll have a looky-loo later.

That will destroy the whole particles object. I assume the goal was to destroy the individual particle one by one when hit and i'm pretty sure that isn't possible without using Sprites.

it does not matter what actually happens, but what the player sees...

Ok thanks, that's a good idea. Didn't think about that
