Custom particles need a lot of improvement

[Azrellie (FxmboyStormie)]

For one, custom particles need a way more massive render distance, cause trying to make particle tornadoes is so frustrating when users have to get within 400 studs of it to even show the particles emitting, and the maps in sc games are waaaaaay more then 400 studs (about 10000 studs or more).

Custom particles also need more options such as collisions and can face a single given direction.

ParticleEmitter Plane Locking

As a Roblox developer, it is much too difficult to create effective rain particles (as an example) due to the inability for particles to be locked to a specific plane as determined by it’s parent’s orientation. Particles turn towards the camera like billboard GUIs and surely no one wants sideways rain. With [a property/some properties] regarding plane locking particles, particles can further contribute to outstanding maps and usage of them, such as the rain idea discussed in the initial paragra…

Increase Particle Emitters View Distance

Currently the render distance of particles is very small. We’re trying to put explosion effects to our ships but they are not visible from far away which is very annoying. It is currently impossible to create nice particle effects far away from the camera. Things like smoke and fire should be able to be seen from far away with at least some detail. It’s simply too hard to create nice effects in the distance. I was planning to create my own particle module using BillboardGuis but moving them wa…

Can you achieve what you’re trying to do with meshparts instead of particles? Particles should be used as a supplementary effect since they’re very influenced by quality level and have a finite render distance. They’re not reliable and may not always be there.
