I just implemented these new rail effects and thought it would be cool to make a video. i simply put two Valhalla Class Corvettes into a dual.Of course im helping the friendly corvette take out some of the bad ships turrets with my own slightly less powerful rail gun.
I decided to make an amv of sorts out of this one, music supplied by Thorns, a song called "Vortex". Good stuff! The song not only was the right length for the video but it sorta goes with all the spiral trails you see.
The script used to generate the trails was written by me (as well as the ships and the background and some of the effects). I finally solved the old issues with the first attempt at this trail. i simply used the weapons life time to come up with a rotational angle. then applied a velocity to the sine and cosine of that angle, also the distance between particles is better calculated. both vectors are transformed and used to set the position and velocuty of the particles. the result is a really cool effect. Enjoy!
I see some particles pass through the target. It can be noticed in 1:35 and 1:40.
Without considering this, great work Nuke! :D
