Candy Dispenser pre-filled with solid particles when playing? - blogsabout - 10-05-2019
Hello Obi'ers!
I'm making a serious of dispensers with "candy" that needs to be filled with particles when the project starts.
And then when interacting, a "door" will open and some of it will fall down a tube onto a cake.
How do I pre-spawn the dispensers with particles, so it's already full from the when the game starts?
Thanks for this wonderful plugin
Cheers, Dan
PS. Will Obi Cloth or Softbody be a solution if I want to have some "pancakes" thrown in the air and spin and will "bend"?

Hi there,
You can either:
- Use a combination of emitter shapes to approximate the shape of your dispenser (note that you can attach a single emitter to multiple shapes, and it will emit from them all)
- Create your own emitter shape by deriving from ObiEmitterShape (http://obi.virtualmethodstudio.com/api.html) and overriding its GenerateDistribution() method.
Then set your emitter mode to Burst so that all particles are created at once when you start the game, and you're set.
PD: for flying pancakes, ObiSoftbody will do fine. Just keep in mind that softbodies cannot be dynamically torn/broken.
