and remove all of the other randoms other than what that i changed the code
to.
So for the final output:
/*Tony; the traceline replaces the IsInAir check.
you also don't want the random's to be around the traceline either, or
it will only check SOMETIMES. it needs to check _all_ the time.
you also probably want to do some radius checking of the particles
position (ignoring z) for if it's in range of the local player to run this
code or not
otherwise you will have traces for every particle all over the place
even if there's no way that the player can see it
so when the player is out of that radius, you would only use if (
!IsInAir( pParticle->m_Pos ) { return false; }
*/
trace_t trace;
UTIL_TraceLine(vOldPos, pParticle->m_Pos, MASK_SOLID, NULL,
COLLISION_GROUP_NONE, &trace);
if( trace.fraction < 1 || trace.DidHit() )
{
if ( RandomInt( 0, 100 ) <= r_RainSplashPercentage.GetInt() )
DispatchParticleEffect( "rain_splash",
trace.endpos,trace.m_pEnt->GetAbsAngles() , NULL );
// Tell the framework it's time to remove the particle from the list
return false;
}
// We still want this particle
return true;
