Plane Collision Object

Plane Collision

Description

This Particle Object is used to make particles collide with a plane. It's especially useful when Use Ground is set to true, as particles will then collide with the ground and bounce according to the settings of this object.

Note that ground collision will not be simulated while editing the particle, you must switch to game mode to test particles colliding with ground pieces and props.

Location

Right-click on an empty space in the Particle Creator Scene Manager and choose Affectors > Linear Force from the list.
