Problem: Currently, there is no way in the basic properties of smoke to have its direction anything other than up or down. Even though you can get smoke to appear like it is moving sideways by moving the object that it is attached to, it's not really changing the direction, and this doesn't work with a still object. Proposed Solution: Instead of just rise velocity, it would be great if some kind of horizontal velocity were added, either in slide or number entry- form like the other velocities. Pros: -Gives the effect of wind, which has not been added yet to the game -Can give the effect of motion to anchored objects -Gives more opportunities for creativity in game- making Cons: -This may slow down studio, as studio would have to calculate the vectors of both of the smoke directions and find the resultant vector, which may take some time and computer power. Please post any revisions, criticisms, supports, and no- supports below! :) ~The inner machinations of my mind are an enigma.

@Ilike There already is gravity, but wind would be very nice. Also, if wind were implemented, I would LOVE a flexibility option under properties so you can make things sway in the wind.
