Friction Sparks 0.0.1------------------May 11, 2010

Goal

To create sparks when friction is caused between steel objects and the ground.
To create a "spark forge" and have the public pay to create their own sparks.


Purpose

It creates a whole new level of customization.
The spark forge has potential to sink toricredits.


General ideas

When sparks are created, there can be a set gravity value for the sparks ***(this is to create the sparks
as realistically as possible)


***Spark Forge

Body Part: 0 All_joints 1_head 2_neck 3_left_peck 4_right_peck 5_chest 6_lumbar 7_abs etc

Emit delay(after contact): 0 - 50 frames
Primary Color:
R 0-250
G 0-250
B 0-250
Secondary Color:
R 0-250
G 0-250
B 0-250

Fade Limit: 0-50 frames

Randomess: 0 - 100% (100% is based on a predecided limit)

Size Limit: 0-(undecided amount)

Velocity: 0 - 100

Thickness: 0 - 100

emit amount: 0 - 100***



Physics Problems

1. Physics engine currently does not support friction values afaik.
	"ode friction is either on or off"

2. Angles of sparks have yet to be figured out.

3. Interaction between sparks and other objects

Possible Solutions

1. Sparks could be generated based on a duration of contact rather than the amount of pressure

***3. Sparks would need to sink into other objects without a gravitational pull towards these objects.
I.E. The spark either hits and sinks into an object, or fades specified by fade time.
