Confetti/snow Type Script..

I"m not a scripter so I am probably not even asking this the right way but..

Does anyone know how to makes particles fall from a sphere or any prim - to fall down to the ground like snow does. I have a confetti script but my particles are falling straight out and up. Not sure what to change inside the script. Thanks for any help and sorry if I didn't ask right!

See /54/d8/302790/1.html. Someone asked the same question last week. There must be something in the air.

thank you, i'll check it out!

that says basically what the script i have says with the instructions at the top. i just can't figure out how to make the particles go all the way down but i'll keep trying.

Yes, but those particular parameters are snow particle parameters. Try them and see. The basic script always looks like that.

Maybe this comes close to what you want.
You can play with PSYS_SRC_BURST_RADIUS,4.0, to make the output wider or narrower.

PSYS_SRC_ACCEL, <0.0,0.0,-0.5>, negative value on Z axis pushes the particles to ground.
