    In principle i would say search the forum as theres lots on here

    however
    This video shows how to make a nice blurred moving actor using particles but its based on moving with a keystroke
    Change it so it moves in the direction you want out of the pipe - set some timer and variation on it coming out,choose a nice picture of a cloud or something (maybe the one from the canon physics template) and give it a go


    Its not an answer but its a start ;-)

    create your steam image and set it as the image in the Particle Behavior

    This is why I use apples motion's particle generators.

    @articsunrise … like that one too! … and your good start is good answer for something that is so variable as what particles will give what effect!

    and, I forgot that the Platformer Template in the GS startScreen uses Particles on the Torch actor.

    cheers mh - i dont like to give full answers (its the same with my new set of 'students') i just liek to give a pointer so that people actually learn for themselves whilest following.

    and actually someone else has posted a similar thread about a car with smoke coming out but when car rotates it doesnt follow correctly - use the video above and then use a bit of gs knowledge etc and have a play - the logic is simple if you have it working one direction you can easily make it work in others

    Here are three stream emitters I made for you - might be useful as a starting point.

    "Can i use the steam images in my game?"

    I just stuck the two words 'Smoke' & 'Particle' into Google images and they were the two first images that came up, they are just some motley, noisy greyscale images, I stuck them in Photoshop and played around with them a bit . . . you can probably do some of your own in Photoshop in a couple of minutes . . . .
