  MOSParticle problemsSo, I have this MOSParticle i'm trying to get to work, but I have two issues.
1. it's not animating. 2. -1 LifeTime isn't preventing it from disappearing. code: Code: AddEffect = MOSParticle PresetName = Water Surface AddToGroup = Water Buyable = 1 GoldValue = 0 Mass = 0 GlobalAccScalar = 0 RestThreshold = -1 LifeTime = -1 AirResistance = 0 Sharpness = 0 HitsMOs = 0 GetsHitByMOs = 0 SpriteFile = ContentFile FilePath = GraveWaters.rte/Shared/Wripple.bmp FrameCount = 8 Framerate = 9999 SpriteOffset = Vector X = 0 Y = 0 AngularVel = 0 Atom = Atom Material = Material CopyOf = Water TrailLength = 0 (it's buyable so that I can test it.) |

Re: MOSParticle problems I might be misremembering, but I think MOSParticles specifically animate based on how long they last - first frame when they spawn, and they animate through their lifetime, last frame appearing when they die. Your MOSParticle might not be animating because it has an endless LifeTime.
Try putting a script on your particle that's just Code: function Update(self) self.ToDelete = false; end Or have a single script handle multiple particles. Which can also handle animating by manually spawning particles with specific frames at the right time. |

Edit: and now i've tried giving it a lifetime, but it still didn't animate. Last edited by grave accent on Thu Dec 14, 2017 3:43 am, edited 1 time in total. |

Re: MOSParticle problems Did you try a script or something

Re: MOSParticle problems Well, the script worked, it doesn't delete anymore.
Still can't get it to animate, though. |

Re: MOSParticle problems Give the particles a lifetime that's the length you want the animation to be. Give the script a Destroy() block that spawns a particle in its place. That way when it dies, it creates a new particle, and accomplishes animation.

Re: MOSParticle problems Well, I gave it a lifetime of 4000 before you gave me the script, and it still didn't animate.

Re: MOSParticle problems Well, that appears to have done it. Thanks cave.
Now I just gotta make it respawn, as it currently hangs on the final frame cause of the deletion prevention. |

Re: MOSParticle problems Code: function Create(self) self.animTimer = Timer(); end function Update(self) self.ToDelete = false; if self.animTimer:IsPastSimMS(4000) then self.ToDelete = true; end end function Destroy(self) local water = CreateMOSParticle("Water Surface"); water.Pos = self.Pos; MovableMan:AddParticle(water); end or something |
