Help  Is Obi Fluid the right choice for this situation?
#1
Hello! My current project uses Zibra Liquids, but recently they introduced a "Pro" version with a subscription fee. The asset itself worked great, but the ability to collide different fluids together is locked behind the Pro version. Which sucks really, as that was something I really needed, and after spending 100 USD it hurts not being able to use it for my project.

So, I purchased Obi Fluids. I played around with it a bit, but I was hoping to get some quick questions answered before digging too deep into it.

My project is 3D but locked in a 2D view. It involves 4 players, each with their own slime gun. Similar to Splatoon in ways. As for questions, again I only played a little bit with the assets so I don't need a "How to" just yet, I just want to know if it's possible. First question, am I able to "launch" fluid from an emitter, depending on the direction it's facing? I couldn't seem to find a way to send the liquid in any direction, other than straight down from where the emitter is.

Other question, in Zibra Liquids they have voids, where if particles hit the void they are deleted. Is there a similar ability in Obi Fluids? The way my current setup with Zibra worked, was that the player had voids attached to them, and if an enemy slime particle hit that void, it would be deleted and added to the total deleted particles. Once the deleted particles hit the limit I had set, the player would be "dead". The downside to that way was I couldn't have particles stick to the players, so there was no visual effect unless I added something janky.\

Thanks! I may have more questions down the road, but I'll do my best to investigate it myself and read the docs. I just need a starting point.
