This is probably an odd query, I was looking at the viability of my second project idea, which I would love to use LE3 for. So I have 1 query, I dont need a you do it this way, or whatever just a yes/no would be fine.

 

I would be looking to have weapon fire like a particle effect but made from a model (or including a model) that is animated.

 

I would still to using a particle emitter but since their isn't a dedicated particle editor I think using an animated model would do just as good on the gfx quality scale.

 

Thanks :) Sorry for the billion or so questions this is the last I should have for some time.

I would construct a plane with the surface command set, then scale it to be long and skinny, and move it through the air for each tracer. You would only need about one in five bullets to be a visible tracer.

My job is to make tools you love, with the features you want, and performance you can't live without.
