Particles - hoppem - 12-17-2011

can you set a particle system active using set entity active cuz i know its not an entity so im a bit confused Huh



RE: Particles - flamez3 - 12-17-2011

It's not an entity, so you use

Code:
CreateParticleSystemAtEntity(string& asPSName, string& asPSFile, string& asEntity, bool abSavePS);



Creates a particle system on an entity.
asPSName - internal name
asPSFile - the particle system to use + extension .ps
asEntity - the entity to create the particle system at
abSavePS - determines whether a particle system should “remember” its state

WHY?... So it doesn't repeat itself. Odd question.

I think there are some things that have that as an option in the level editor, but don't quite work. For example, disabling lights won't work, you have to do it through scripting; at least in my experience.

Exactly, certain things like tables and sofas don't deactivate, just trial and error I guess.
