When the fire and fog was influenced by wind,how could I make the fog emit to the wind direction in my program with API?
PIC-1 CIRCLE FIRE ROTATION 0 0.0 0.0 0.0

I try the Rotation but the effect is not right!
PIC-2 CIRCLE FIRE NOT WELL
Image
If the emitter shape is point I could make the right effect by set direction!
PIC-3 NO WIND
Image
PIC-4 WITH WIND
Image

PIC-4 is what I want!
PIC-2 is not well!
It's really difficult! Wish your reply! Thank you!

I am not sure that I understood rightly.

Use Magic_SetEmitterDirection for the rotation of the emitter with the help of API.

There is a "wind" in new version of Magic Particles. And I released Russian version 2.2 already. But I have no the translation on English yet. If you want to use "wind" I can build new version for you, but the manual will be old.

yes,you understand me well,I use Magic_SetEmitterDirection,but the effect is not right.PIC-5 is what I want.Fire is influenced by wind.
I need the "wind" version.I have learn Magic Particles API for two months.I think I can understand it well.Thank you for your reply!

OK. I sent to you new version using e-mail.

Also you can simulate the wind using Magic_MoveEmitterParticles. This function allows to move the particles.
