Emitter not working

PHP Code:


		
			
//#CLIENTSIDE

function onCreated() {

  with (findimg(1)) {

    layer = 2;

    x = player.x;

    y = player.y;



    emitter.attachposition = false;

    emitter.delaymin = 10;

    emitter.delaymax = 15;

    emitter.emissionoffset = { 20, 20, 20 };

    emitter.firstinfront = false;

    emitter.nrofparticles = 3;

    emitter.maxparticles = 60;

    

    emitter.particle.lifetime = 12;

    emitter.particle.image = "g4_particle_whitespot.png";

    emitter.particle.mode = 0;

    emitter.particle.alpha = .99;

    emitter.particle.red = .89;

    emitter.particle.green = .76;

    emitter.particle.blue = .49;

    emitter.particle.zoom = 0;

    emitter.particle.zangle = 2;

    emitter.particle.angle = 1;

    emitter.particle.speed = random(2,6);

    emitter.particle.spin = 3;

    emitter.particle.stretchx = 0;

    emitter.particle.strechy = 0;



    emitter.addLocalModifier("range",9,12,"alpha","replace",1,0);



    emitter.emit();

  }

}

Suggestions?

This is just a guess but I think the Particle Emitter is supposed to be used with image indexes that are clientside-only, meaning the image index needs to be 200 or greater.

yeap that's correct = )
so it would be:

PHP Code:


		
			
with (findimg(201)) {

Crow	09-30-2007 12:29 AM

Or 200. I actually prefer to start at 200 ;P

Admins

I would say that zoom, stretchx and stretchy should be greater than zero otherwise you will not see anything (try with 1...)
Also the emission offset (20 tiles) is a little bit high, try {0,0,0} first

Okay thanks :)

BTW It wasn't that it needed to be img number 200 or higher...

Try with (this.emitter), there might be some global "emitter" variable

Yes I tried it with "with(this.emitter)" and it didnt work either.

It's working for my friend's though use "with(emitter)" and jsut writing it all out like my last post.

Ok try this put your script into a class make sure you have

PHP Code:


		
			
with(findimg(201)) {

and then just put in the npc for the level

PHP Code:


		
			
//#CLIENTSIDE

function onCreated()

{

  join("classname");

}

that should work or you are doing something wrong

Switch

09-30-2007 03:18 AM

Nope.

It keeps saying the same thing in RC

duh because you have addLocalModifier don't use the capital L use the little l

    emitter.emit();

copy and paste that, i tested it on my server and i didn't get any errors

I had it correct then it wouldn't work as class so I copied and pasted into the actual Weapon and it returned:

Dude, static variables are not case-sensitive, only dynamic variables are.

And I think you might have a global emitter variable like you said. Do echo(emitter.objecttype()) and see what it says? I believe it would be TParticleEmitter if its the correct object.

Switch

09-30-2007 03:48 AM

No it's "TGraalVar"

Try this.emitter inside the with part.

Earlier today Skyld said he doesn't know much about particles, an Stefans stuff worked but then it got screwy so I cahnged and then it came up with the errors, so I think I need Stefan to actually look at this on RC.

Go on Graal Legacy and look at "Switch/Test" @ Stefan

Or someone can look at it and toy around with it on their server.

I'm very proficient with particles but I'll probably need to look at it personally. Send me a message in one of my contacts.

Admins

10-02-2007 01:35 AM

Ok fixed the problems:
- there were a few spaces behind //#CLIENTSIDE so it compiled it as serverside script
- on gmap something like player.x + random(-30,30) works better because random(0,60) is just upper left corner of the gmap
- also added emitter.cliptoscreen = true to have the particles on the screen even when emitted or moving outside and changed attachposition to false

Completely disregarding the fact that there's a city in the highlands of Scotland called Inverness.

Completely disregarding the fact that Macbeth, in the famous Shakespeare play of the same name, resided in a castle in Inverness.

Completely disregarding:

Inverness is certainly more easier to pronounce than Iverness, if you're pronouncing it right.
