Hmm...all this does is check for a collision of a bullet using ray collision and spawn a particle system at that location to simulate the bullet bouncing off the surface. I'm not entirely sure, but I think this can be done via script right now. Juutis, Jay, or Jonas, can you validate my suspicion?
where the h**l did you find this!?!?!
this looks really good, i always wanted to add 3 dimentional effects to my grenade explosions and stuff.
like a shower of sparks that arc up into the air then shower down.
i think the important thing here is that the effect travels away from the surface that it collides with.
i also think that its about time we requested that a good programmer update the effect capibilities. mabey a simple physics based actor explosion would be in order.

don't quote me on this but i think this has already be partially implemented by Nout, a while back.
I'm not sure it the scripting functionality was put it though,
could be wrong, need a programmer to go over the code to confirm this.
I'm not sure why you put my name up there But I looked and it looks like spray, and/or actorspray would do the job. If my memory serves me correctly almost every gun in the rf tech demo has particles flying from either impact or when fired. So yes I believe that it should be possible, to control it for impact with scripting. I'm a little brain dead and on a public computer or I would dig a little deeper.

Focused, hard work is the real key to success. Keep your eyes on the goal, and just keep taking the next step towards completing it. If you aren't sure which way to do something, do it both ways and see which works better. - John Carmack
why add something that is already there? No sense in reinventing the wheel. It might not be as easy as some might like. But, who ever said making a game was suppose to be really easy? Especially when your talking more advanced effects...
