Particle Effects. Questions and Answers.

Hi there, as you can see I am attempting my first try with particle effects and I have a few questions.

a. I have tested using a generic particle effect, looked work great on my 4G. Great. But I have noticed many inklings and urks about them in iTGB. Is there are there any performance issues I should be aware of? As in, should I stop here now and got to static sprites?! ::)(

b. I have tried to create on in game....

%this.pEfxt = new t2dParticleEffect() {
				  	effectFile = "~/data/levels/level1WPE.eff";
				  	useEffectCollisions = "0";
				  	effectMode = "INFINITE";
				  	effectTime = "0";
				  	canSaveDynamicFields = "1";
				  	Position = "32.949 -130.666";
				  	size = "128.000 128.000";
				  	CollisionMaxIterations = "3";
				  	UsesPhysics = "1";
				  	MountOffset = "-0.354 -0.029";
				  	MountOwned = "0";
				  	MountInheritAttributes = "0";
				  	mountID = "48";
				  	mountToID = "41";
				  	group = 27;
				  	};
				  	%this.pEfxt.mount(%this.ChipsChip, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1);
				  	return;
				  	
				  	echo("%this.new particle effect created here:::::LL:LLL:::LL:");
				  	echo("%this.pEfxt.position " @ %this.pEfxt.position);

I can not see it, and of course my echo position returns "

p����ýonCollision

". So no good. Is there an issue with creating them in game?


c. Can I have many of the same one in existence at once? So effectA, being used three times at once.


d. In my editor, I deleted it from my scene but create it via scripts in game. Now I can no longer manipulate it, make adjustments as it does not appear in my Particle Effects panel. It is only a file in my level folder, which is encrypted code.


:?



Thanks.
