Being able to "Activate" Tracers

Postby Rhett97 » Sat Oct 03, 2009 7:56 pm

Iv always wanted to be able to turn on tracers whenever you needed them.
like say... you have a rocket.. the tracers only activate when you press fire button or something..

Just use a variable for transparency.

I like this suggestion.
Now at v1.6.0, when you changed tracer's opacity into 0, the old track will also go out.

Edit:
I made the image for this suggestion.

yes would be useful :thumbup: support :) yes you could do it with variables but that makes it a lot more work than just a simple button press :)

i support this too.
it can be done so that the tracer starts at a specific point with physical formulas. i already tested it. but you can only set one starting point and not more points. it would be cool to switch tracers on and off.

I know there is a way to make pseudo on/off system. However, this is a technical way (and takes much RAM).


Activate tracers are simple and will be very useful. :thumbup:
