Well , Yeah Hello . I really want to have a sort of Water Splash from Hydrants when they're Damaged .

I've found an Emitter in "EXHydrant.w3d" but I don't exactly know What it is or how to use it .

Is it even supported by Game or an upcoming feature which has never been arrived ?

Should I use a Particle System to make it work ? If so , No Idea How . (as I'm a Noob in Particle Works)

Help !

Thanks for Reading 😁

It looks like an unfinished prop object that disappears after 5 seconds.
Other than that, it's just a model on its art assets.

You can use just use a ParticleSystem for this, I can try giving you some ParticleSystem code if you can specify the effect.

Well EXHydrant.w3d contains the Particle I want as an Emitter and It doesn't seem like we can actually make a Code to use Emitters and so on , I tried to extract the Emitter's information and put them into a ParticleSystem but still many things are wrong .

There is how I've done it & Here are my 2 issues :

1. Particle System looks like anything but what I wanted .
2. New Objects do not Use Geometry ; So , I'll need to make it to work for 2 existing objects .
- Or I'll need to find a way like Second life or Such Things .

ObjectCreationList OCL_FireHydrantRed_Damaged

  ObjectNames   = FireHydrantRed_Damaged

An Emitter you can find inside EXHydrant.w3d

You Should see particle system it self.. Try to look on bunker buster try to what's the name of the middle part particle.. Where he pukes like an emitter but for a sec only

Well , this code is how it's done I guess but if there is a more efficient way , I'll be too happy .
You know how sensitive I am on art parameters .

The code bellow totally works for map.ini and is also easy to convert for Core INI :

 End
End

  MaxForceMagnitude   = 15
  MinForcePitch       = 8

  SpinRate            = 5
  BounceSound         = DebrisBigMetal

Well , here are the requests :

1. Anyone knows any W3D model for the Exploded hydrants ? {This one looks just fine but not good enough}
2. Anyone knows a better working Splash Line ? {This one has a little bit dots on start , I mean at the bottom of it , it just looks to be cut from the upper side particles and a single dot ; anyway to fix this ?}

Special Thanks for Reading .
