Is that how you see it? I have tried to keep up, but real life took over so excuse if I'm out of touch. Anything you need tested with screenshots? |

Since the object particle that the sound is linked to is not supposed to be visual, we might try placing it in the same ParticleGenerator as the visual bitmap particle, as an array item.
I have also noticed that increasing the max number of particles makes the effect somehow smoother. My suspect is that the total count of particles spawned must be multiplied by the number of times the particle generator is linked to the object (8 times in our case). Anyway, here are two more versions of the effect:
Tourelle de La Plate v12 - Patch 5
Tourelle de La Plate v12 - Patch 6
Both versions: max number of particles increased from 40 to 400 and two splash effects used: one for waves higher than 1 m and another effect for waves higher than 2 m.
Patch 5: the lower particle effect uses the same waterspray bitmap particle as the high one, but squeezed vertically to look shorter.
Patch 6: the lower particle effect use a new bitmap particle.
Patch 3 to 6 are alternative to each other and shouldn't be enabled together.
