The Particle Package Files
This has been posted at with the first post on my experimentation with particles. Though this is the most important part of my experimentation in unreal tournament using the unreal cascade engine, therefore I am just re-posting those links back here. All the required particles that are used and in use are all in the package provided below here:

Cag3891 - Craig Gullen
This is the links to our map:
For now there is only our Mediafire link as filefront was taking too long to upload our file. Our backup link may be included a bit later.

9 Image Captures
For some reason my particle emitters do not show up in Unreal Tournament as well as in UnrealED therefore these scrteenshots will be taken in UnrealED.

Dust and water/snow particles
The usage of the BeforeSpark
Dust particles, blue flame and also teleportal
Screen shot from the opening cinematic showing the rooms with the blue flames and also the warning red light
Another screen shot of the building and it's spaces using an aerial camera.
The basic blue flame emitter
The blue flame emitter with the teleportal as well as a basic dust particle system setup surrounding it
Lastly the particel effect trickling down through the structure and also viewable from the close to safety platforms, there is also the tint of the greyness that can be seen form the rain/snow emitter.

With the map you can see what I have done with using Particle Systems with kismet and matinee as well. This can be seen with how there are the blue flames in the map right now. The blue flames also have a pointlightmoveable placed inside the flame area. This is then placed into kismet and then following that, having the light animated into moving to different locations to give it a sense of a realistic light source being emitted from the flame. Then there is also a brightness adjuster animated into the flame to give it a flickering effect.

Exp3: Testing Particles Video
The files for this video are in the post below
This is a demo version of the testing space created.
Mediafire Link
This is a display of my particles and how it works in two different environments and what sort of effects they produce in that given space. This should be shorter than the demo video, but the demo video is able to allow you to pan the camera around the player, therefore you can also view the space after the movement that I do is finished.

EXP3: Testing Particles
Firstly here are the links to the files for you to run through the space I have built during the first week of using Unreal Editor and then implementing the particles in which I am going to be using for our groups final map.
Firstly Links to my particle package:
Mediafire Link
There should be a total of 7 particle systems inside the package though only 5 are needed. The following that are needed as follows:
1. Dust Particles

1. Dust Particles
- This has been used in my trial map on the walls to give it a crumbling effect.
- The same effect will be used for the final map though it will not be scattered across the whole building as this would look weird. Therefore they will be placed mainly around the walls of the areas which have teleportals or a place where light would be emitting from (explained further in blue flame particle)
- This is used in the same way that has been done in the tutorial video
- The usage of this our final map is still undecided
- I have created this for the main effect of the usage for the main map. Though for now I have set it up as though it was an ornamental blue flamethrower.
- In the map the blue flames are linked to the same trigger for the SparkBefore particle effect, therefore you are
- Usage for the final map would be for in each teleportal area this would be a particular light source and also a way to identify it. These flames are also in a place that would be visible to the player at times but mainly are in areas to which the player will have access to and be able to move around in. Therefore this is the reason as to why the dust particle system is set up here as people will be able to see it. The reason for it being blue would be because we are setting our lighting to be dark and a pale light blue is effective and gives a warm effect to the players eye.
- Secondly in the final map but not in the testing one, i have set what was shown for the flame in the tutorial videos and have a flickering lighting effect happening where the flame is. Therefore this gives the flame a more realistic feel as well as having the flame as well as light move, it gives it a more real time feeling.
- This particle is mainly created for use in the actual map as this particle is pretty big. Though it is placed inside the map, you must focus really hard in looking for this blurry effect with a touch of grey colour which has been placed with the flames and is dropping down from the ceiling.
- In the actual map this particle is used three times. Once at the top, one mid and one near the bottom. This has been done because of the Level Of Difficulty (LOD) calculated by Unreal itself would mean the further you are from the particles, the harder it is to see the particles. Therefore I have placed them in areas in which people will most likely be and still be able to see the particles. The main usage is just to give it a visual effect as well as environmental feel effect.
- This particle has been set up to only play one which means that the particles die after the first time them played. Therefore the trigger that is set in the middle of the room is used to play the particle (it is a on off switch) so sometimes you may need to double tap E. Also since the size of the room is pretty small, the whole particle effect cannot be seen as it is large.
- The particle is large because it is meant to be used for the initial explosion of the bomb. The particle has some initial flaring around the sides and then it is followed by a puff of red flame which is the explosion and then there are some flames that still fly out for a few mini-seconds after the burst of flame. After this explosion takes place it should be followed by the SparkAfter effect which gives the smokey feeling of what happened after the explosion.

Cactus Model Y
This is the model with 71% of the model cut out. For some reason the Mass properties only displays 0.00 for the volume of the model. Though before adding on the exploded parts on it, the volume was 23547.65 whioch is more than 71% of the original model. I am not too sure how much extra i have added on as it is not showing. This number can be obtained by yourself after you open my file and delete from Plane 16 onwards.

The outcome of this model to reinforce my previously stated before forms of explosions. This being the sense of being hidden in which can be seen by how inside parts of the model are still intact. This can concur that area may have been sealed off tightly, but because of the large force from the explosion large chunks of the model have been ripped apart from it. This can be seen by how parts of the model have flown off the building. Though there is something extra that i would like to make sure is that the force of the explosion should have forced the building of the ground and thus there are even pieces falling from the bottom of the building. Therefore this is a a model of what would have happen a few seconds after the explosion occurred and how pieces are still flying off the building. There is also reference to the small, medium and large explosion. This can be seen by how different parts of the original model are intact and how the cutouts of the envelope contain small and large amounts of cutouts. I also purposely made this the zoom model as to mirror the barrels exploding from my first experiment. This is because it is like looking at the barrels in the scope of the crossbow and then zooming back out to see the explosion occur.

This is the model with 46% of the model cut out.

The outcome of this model is shown in how there is still a part attached in the bottom of model. This can be seen as a hiding spot in the whole building where someone could have been when the explosion occurred. This relates back to how you can be hidden in an explosion and have no idea what has happened. Though as seen in the model it doesn't just seem as though one explosion occurred. Multiple explosion occurs and thus this relates back to my other theory of how explosions occur linearly with both horizontal and vertical. There is also a sense of small, medium and large explosions occurring. The wider side faces have the big circular cut out, where as the thinner sides have medium cuts and the top of the model has four small explosions occurring.

The outcome of this model is mainly done through using extrude cuts of rectangles. Through this model i further develop the idea of explosion from my first experiment.
