You can make a pretty good looking spray type water fountain using blue-white particles with downward acceleration. Feel free to visit the Particle Laboratory in-world. See Search -> Places and TP there.  |

See Search -> Places and TP there. I have been looking this place. Lots to see and the script I need is well hidden. Please dont send me links to any stores.... |

Please dont send me links to any stores.... it`s not a store, it`s particle "school" with tutorials and examples |

I wouldn't send anyone here to a store. This forum is about learning to script, not purchasing products. The Particle Laboratory will teach you to build particle systems that will probably do what you want. I would suggest use of:
1.) PSYS_SRC_PATTERN, PSYS_SRC_PATTERN_ANGLE_CONE
2.) PSYS_SRC_ACCEL to make the particles drop back down to the ground
3.) PSYS_SRC_ANGLE_BEGIN and PSYS_SRC_ANGLE_END that are the same or pretty close in value
4.) Colors that are pale blue (something like <0.9, 0.9, 1.0>, though that's just a guess and needs to be played with)
5.) A good misty texture for PSYS_SRC_PATTERN
6..) The PSYS_PART_FOLLOW_VELOCITY_MASK flag
Beyond that, play with it.

There are other methods of creating water fountains, like use of animated textures, but I find particles often make good ones.

I like a mix myself - particle "rain", a couple prims with animated textures for sheets of water, and some particle "clouds" of spray at the bottom.

Beyond that, play with it. Thank you for the answer, this way is the best, I saw a very realistiv looking water fontain made out of 3-4 scripts. And it is the only way to make an fontain looking real. I dont talk about the basic texturing animation. Those are simple but making the scripts and the particle texture for a realistic fontain with white water, well, this is too much for me. So if here is a good scripter who can do this, I can show you the fontain I would love to have. Please IM me in world. Thx! |
