Well now.... I know how to make an emitter work but putting it in the air is a whole different scene... Wat I wanna do is put a snow emitter into the air for added realism to my new night time mod "The frosty dark©".
can anyone help?

I don't understand what your having a problem with.
Just change the nodes z axis position (x y z) in the.mis file.

You want to make something like this right...

Set reload gate with modwizard.

Here it is at mission file

New PowerUp() {
position = "41.15 25.0831 83.0342";
rotation = "0.0373977 -0.0634508 -0.997284 94.2066";
scale = "1 1 1";
dataBlock = "Reload";
lightBoost = "0";
};

Change it to

New ParticleEmitterNode(SnowEmitterNode) {
position = "41.15 25.0831 83.0342";
rotation = "0.0373977 -0.0634508 -0.997284 94.2066";
scale = "1 1 1";
dataBlock = "SnowEmitterNode";
emitter = "SnowEmitter";
velocity = "1";
};

EDIT: Be sure you have emitter called Snow in your mis. File or in you special.cs. For quick test you should use mission file. Tell us if some problems come with it. %)

ˆ New ParticleEmitterNode

New in lower case. ;) I don't know does that matter but it's needed in function codes, function lower case.

@ mudda - Each object has a position in space defined by xyz. See Triv's image.
I highly suggest that you look at the Translated Mission File to learn more about the.mis file.
Goto www.maxworks.com
Under Code For The Mission File:
Translated Mission File - I have translated most of the Mission File and defined each line of code.

@ boo - I think his question is about the position of the "emitter node" not the creation of the "emitter node".
Also your link ^ is for the default special.cs. There is no snow emitter in there just Rocket, Rocksmoke, and Smoke.

@ KAG(KS) - I made that snow emitter last May.
Help yourself @ www.maxworks.com
Under Emitter Information:
special cs with emiters.zip - This is my special.cs file I use with over 20 emitters and version of ~z~'s Health Gate that works in Team Battlemode.
You don't have to use the whole special.cs. Just take out the emitters you want or use them as templates.
