How do I make a reverse/inward particle effect?

I'm wondering if this is possible. Is there a way to make the particles of a particle effect go inward to the point instead of spraying outwards? This would create a "charging" or "taking in energy" effect.

Thank you!

Something like that:

Ah, unfortunately my version of Construct 2 is too old and I only use it at college so I can't update it... I should be fine without the effect, but thanks very much for your help anyway

Update your version of C2!

R200 is the latest stable release and you can also use it as free-version (some limitations).

Simple example:

On Trigger (key pressed, mouse klick, whatever)

+ repeat X times (how many particles you want to have)

= Create (Particle) on Layer(what you want) at X: random(LayoutWidth), Y: random(LayoutHeight)

(So the particles will be created anywhere on the screen. But you can create them where you want)

The Particles have Bullet-Movement with Speed:0, Acceleration: 500, Set Angle: No.

For each (Particle):

= Set Bullet Angle of Motion to angle(Self.X, Self.Y, Player.X, Player.Y)

(so the Particles always follow the "Player-Object")

When (Particles) overlaps (Player)

= (Particles) destroy

Sorry for my english

Hi,

good idea, simpler than an animation.

Nice flares in your capx

Sorry for my english too

Cherico that pretty cool. Not sure what the uses are, but cool none the less..

Remmy112 For what to use? Take a look at the first posting/question:

Cherico I finally managed to get the updated version at my college; thank you! What you made was very helpful.
