Add a timer component to the lava object that fires the particle and set its next timer Intervall to a random number.

**And even then... you could pick from a stored precalculated table of non-repeating random values—that are picked randomly.

Add a timer component to the lava object that fires the particle and set its next timer Intervall to a random number.

I have 3 particle systems on that object how do I specifically choose the one I want? Ill post my object code below, lol I don't really know how to set this up

Code: Select all

defineObject{
	name = "rc_molten_floor_01",
	baseObject = "base_floor_decoration",
	components = {
		{
			class = "Model",
			model = "mod_assets/vanblam/red_cave/models/env/rc_molten_floor_01.fbx",
			staticShadow = true,
			offset = vec(0, -0.05, 0),
		},
		{
			class = "Light",
			range = 11,
			offset = vec(0, 3, 0),
			color = vec(1, 0.3, 0.08),
			brightness = 8,
			castShadow = false,
			staticShadows = true,
			shadowMapSize = 256,
		},
		{
			class = "Particle",
			particleSystem = "gen_lava_smoke01",
			emitterMesh = "mod_assets/vanblam/red_cave/models/env/rc_lava_e_mesh.fbx",
		},
		{
			class = "Particle",
			name = "sparks",
			particleSystem = "gen_lava_sparks01",
			emitterMesh = "mod_assets/vanblam/red_cave/models/env/rc_lava_e_mesh_sparks.fbx",
		},
		{
			class = "Particle",
			name = "splashes",
			particleSystem = "rc_lava_splash",
			enabled = false,
		},
		{
			class = "Timer",
			timerInterval = 1,
			disableSelf = false,
			enabled = true,
			onActivate = function(self)
				self.go.particle.splashes:setEnabled(true)
			end,
		},
		{
			class = "Sound",
			sound = "gen_lava",
		},
		{
			class = "Occluder",
			model = "assets/models/env/dungeon_floor_01_occluder.fbx",
		},
	},
	minimalSaveState = true,
	tags = { "red cave", "vanblam" },
}

- Where would I set the math.random?
- Should the timer be set to onActivate or something else?

Code: Select all

    		{
     			class = "Timer",
      			name = "splashestimer",
      			timerInterval = 5,
      			onActivate = function(self)
        			local time = math.random(5,10)
        			self.go.splashestimer:setTimerInterval(time)
        			self.go.splashes:restart()
      			end,
    		},

In example like this (even I have not tested it).

You can adress your particle components by its unique name ("splashes" in this case).
The random is now between 5 and 10 seconds but can of course be any other value.
This timer would be activated from the start on and doesn't stop at any time.

Awesome thanks bud

Well thanks to you guys the lava came out really nice. Below is a video of the result.

Video Here!

I will be creating more lava rock style objects for you guys to use if you wish to add extra details

[THOM]

Yeah - that's quiet cool!

What's about a soundeffect when the lava splashes?

And maybe you want to consider the lava be more untransparent when under "water"?

You know I was thinking about having a sound for the splashes, glad you said something

Yea the water is at 50% so I could see the walls, I forgot to turn it back up

EDIT: Added the splash sound, its a nice touch

Looking great...
I WANT ME A LAVA BATH NOW

I WANT ME A LAVA BATH NOW

Huh? Should be a deadly Event...
