particles looping?

[drarem]

I tried created particles in both Start() and Physics() using a state type variable and timer. Although I have

 

self.emit:SetLoopMode(false)

 

And I even do this, and have duration set to 1, it continues to churn out particles. I do a self.entity:Release() of the spawned object and the particles still continue.

 

Thanks.

You will probably have to attach an example script for people to try. I have noticed that this command shouldn't be set each update as it appears to interrupt the particle emissions. Try this example and see if it works for you:

 

function App:Start()

self.window = Window:Create()

self.context = Context:Create(self.window)

self.world = World:Create()

self.camera = Camera:Create()

self.camera:Move(0,0,-3)

 

self.emitter = Emitter:Create(10)

self.emitter:SetParticleColor(1,0,0,1,0)

self.emitter:SetParticleColor(0,0,0,1,1)

loop = false

self.emitter:SetLoopMode(loop)

 

return true

end

 

function App:Loop()

if self.window:Closed() or self.window:KeyHit(Key.Escape) then return false end

if self.window:KeyHit(Key.Space) then

if loop==false then

loop = true

else

loop = false

end

self.emitter:SetLoopMode(loop)

end

 

Time:Update()

self.world:Update()

self.world:Render()

 

self.context:SetBlendMode(Blend.Alpha)

self.context:DrawText("Press SPACE to change loop mode",2,2)

if(self.emitter:GetLoopMode())then

self.context:DrawText("Particles will loop.",2,22);

else

self.context:DrawText("Particles will not loop.",2,22);

end

self.context:Sync()

return true

end
