Particles

by Aaron Heal · in Torque 3D Professional · 04/19/2010 (6:00 am) · 7 replies

Hey guys hows it going? Well anyway I have been trying to create new particles for our game but I can't the custom particles stuff to happen for me.

Essentially what I am trying to do is to create a particle effect for the summoning system that I am working on but I keep getting an error but when I use one the default Nodes, emitters and particles I have no problems.

So I guess my real question is have I missed a step in creating my particles/nodes/emitters?

Yeah I can't get them to work as I said the default ones can be added in dynamically without any problems but the new ones don't work. The new emitter I created in the particle editor doesn't show up either but the new particles do.

Be aware that there's a bug where the emitter's name gets wiped when you save it in the particle editor. Workaround - replace the name in the cs file manually.

Is that in the managedparticles.cs (or what ever it is) that gets generated?

It'll be wherever the editor dumps new ones - just look for an emitter with no name.

but I'm fairly sure that the editor saved the name. Anyway I gave it a name and it still didn't work it kept saying that "summonEmitter is not a member of ParticleEmitterNode class" or something
