I have been reading and searching. Looking to make a blue mine with a gold glitter comet. Do I start under mines, comets, shells?
Thank you in advance.
Think of them as 2 devices... Make each one separately, then place them on top of each other and align the fire times...the way you want, select them both, and choose EDIT, Make CAKE... then Edit that CAKE, and change the Category BACK to MINE or COMET... Then DONE...
I'd make the blue mine as the A projectile, then add "n" A projectiles to the L projectile launched at time 0.00. The "n" is the number of stars your mine would have.
Then, adapt the L projectile so it makes a gold glitter comet and you're all set. You may change the Begin time of the L tip to 0.2 or 0.3, so the comet appears some time after the mine.
I already tried to trick Finale into combining multiple devices as a single shot effect, but then I found out that you'd need to reduce the randomness and the cone angles to 0 for both sub-effects. Otherwise, Finale may just decide that the mine leaves the mortar at -2 degrees and the comet at +4, which would look odd considering they are in reality the same effect.
