[Annullus The Grey]

i have been trying to make a flood ability which does not have horses. My chief desire being massive torrents of water rushing forewards. so far i have had some success in removing the horses themselves, but i cannot seem to make the burst of water a concentrated large torrent of water, any suggestions on this would be greatly appreciated.



this is the flood object

I changed your code tag to something more readable than icode

[{IP}TABARRON]

put in a different model

[Annullus The Grey]

ive already got rid of the horses, what i am using is essentially the water fx which surrounds the flood horses, with this object being formed by a mass of sub objects, i managed by making the Y: value to 0 to make a narrow spread burst like i want to achieve, but if i try to add additional objects to the flood object it spreads out again.

[Ridder Geel]

change geometry? maybe the units/objects push each other away?

[Annullus The Grey]

.............didnt work :(
