particle volcano

[Ben H]

I was just messing around with physics and I came up with this...

If you make anything cool from it let me know!

[Ben H]

Here is a new version http://www.kirupa.com/forum/images/smilies/wink.gif

Now particles don't get stuck in a line on the middle of the volcano (There is no code on the volcano, the particles just got stuck in a line)

Are you using MX 2004? Because when I open it up in MX it says "unexpected file format".

[evileks]

It must be in 2004, because I can open and I use MX 2004.
I think it could be used for some tiki based webiste, or something.
I converted it into MX format for you, not sure if it still will work.

Yeah, I'm using mx 2004 pro

That's fun. Thanks.

np, I'm working on a particle waterfall now, with rocks that the water slides off or over.

Thx for your feedback

New version of volcano: It's draggable and the ground becomes where ever the volcano's base is, so everything bounces there, anything below it just slides slowly to the bottom.

There's a flash mx version too

[Coppertop]

thanks :D

but you know, it would be easier to just export an swf :thumb:

EDIT: Hey, this volcano is pretty cool!

[Voetsjoeba]

I've edited this effect a little bit to optimize it, and customised it a bit too. Probably the biggest improvement is that each particle now has a built in self-destruction timer. The original self-destruction condition was to have moved out of the screen. But if you have a lot of particles moving quite slowly, then it can get sluggy. That's why I implemented it.

Using this self-destruction timer, I made them only appear for the bursting out (approximately) a short fall and the disappear to prevent the screen from getting filled with particles and the CPU knocking itself out.

I also did some coding cleanup, for example combining if statements and dividing and subtracting instead of multiplying and adding.

Thanks voets,

Can someone change voets's file to an mx format for me?

neither one work for me in flash mx :(

[Kyri]

me either...."Unexpected File Format"

[Ben H]

That's weird...
I saved as MX,

You'll have to get someone else to do it...
Sorry :*(

Hey check it out:
Give it a while.

Okay, it's broke.

Just click here (http://paddyduke.co.uk/volcano.html).

[Coppertop]

it didn't quite work the first time, so I refreshed it and it was fine.

cool idea! Next thing you should do is have the stickmen regenerate and destruct on impact with one of the magma bits.

[paddy.]

Wudgajustlistentoyourself? I can't do that. That's all AS and stuffs. I can barely make the stickmen run. And that's using tweens. Regenerating and destructing aren't in my repitoire of party tricks.

[Coppertop]

:lol:

ah, I see. I wasn't paying attention :whistle:

[J-Sun]

Great work om3ga!

I like the effect - I think it could be applied to a bunch of different graphics - I'm thinking along the lines of fireworks... the gears are turning...

:)

[Ben H]

@Flash Gordon: Nice work!
@J-Sun: I'm making a waterfall right now...

[base_]

this is really cool. i am trying to get the effect to only occur once you click a button but i dont know how to implement this...would someone be able to help me out here?

[e-sarbak]

Nice nice nice
Very cool
