how to set settings for particle emitters on scripts

[.ok]

so i wanted to have this grill powered by a script block to where it emits from the script block and not from all of the emitters i used to make it

i copied all of the settings over to a script to where i set the xyz to Rel:0,0,0
but i got this instead of the grill


what do i have to do to where it emits from the script block or what do i have to change the xyz's on each of the settings to?

I think what you've done is this. Imagine you set all of the offsets in your emitter blocks as 0,0,0. Because the blocks are all individual particles, and they're all at the centre of the block.

So to fix this, think of an exploded diagram. If you don't know what an exploded diagram is, look it up in google images. Your current set up shows the grill in an exploded diagram. You want to smush the pieces back together. Think offsets in the emitter block. You have to basically set the offsets, but in scripts instead of in the emitter block.

Make sense?

yes,was afraid of that

why cant it just be simple xD

Edit:its simple...i just have to subtract 1 from the y on each new line
so itll be like this:

0,0,0
0,-1,0
0,-2.0
ect

That looks to me like you just copied the offsets straight over to the script block.

With particle emitters, You have to mess with the Y offset and make it one block higher because the emitter is one block lower than the last (If you are doing a tower of emitters) With a script block, All of the particles are emitted in one place.

Also, If you are using emit pos offset in your scripts, I recommend you switch to just using the particle's coordinates instead. It's easier that way.
