I'm not fully understanding how the hell someone can deal with 'float *' and
treat them as vectors, and get them to actually work. I found a particle
system tutorial, written by TheTinySteini. I wrote a new function that takes
a parameter ('float *origin'), and uses that in determining the origin of
the particle. When that function gets called, the actual position ends up to
be something like: -59237234, 1045868234, 0 and I can't figure out why. The
parameter it passes is pTrace->endpos, I used that endpos vector when I used
R_TempSprite's to do the smoke puffs of bullets, it worked fine with that.
Now that I'm trying to use particles, the origin isn't passed right... any
ideas?
