Im trying to get a long arrow effect that stretches from a fixed location to where ever on the geometry the players mouse pointer is over.
The Particle System is made of two beams. The Beam, and The Pointer.
Both Beam Emitter’s “Method” are set to “Distance”. In my code I manually set the Particle System’s rotation and then pass in a “DistOffset” parameter.
The Path’s Beam Data > Distance Parameter uses that “DistOffset” value.
The Pointer has a “Source” Module, it’s “Source” Parameter uses that “DistOffset” value.
The Pointer’s Beam Data > Distance Parameter is a constant set to 200.0
This should result in a beam stretching from the location of the Particle System in the specified direction for the specified distance, with a Pointer starting at the resulting end point of The Beam. And the Preview Window in the Particle System Editor shows this(When I set the Constants of the relevant Parameters).
However, in game The Pointer starts approximately 25% behind The Beam’s end point.
How can I force the The Pointer to be placed properly?
Below are a couple of images illustrating this problem.
In the Particle System Editor the beam placements are correct.
In the Editor Window, and In Game the beam placements are incorrect.
