Using Take Damage events to produce explosions
In this recipe we'll introduce an event that allows you to fire off actions when an actor happens to take damage from the player or from a Bot. This lesson will also cover how to add particle emitters to the event to generate explosions. Rather than use many particle emitters we'll teleport a single emitter from place to place whenever it is needed.
Getting ready
