Particle help

[Angel_Light]

okay 2 questions. How can I make so the particle is draw under the player -_- I've tried layers and drawunderplayer and stuff. Also how can I make so other people see the particles aswell?

The wiki doesnt help much. The wiki really just gives you the command and not a full description T_T

1)

NPC Code:

---

function onCreated(){

  showimg(200,"",player.x,player.y);

  with (findimg(200)) {

    layer = 0;

---

2) You have to stick it into a gani
(see attachment)
You have to open a Gani file with notepad, or wordpad, or a program alike,
to put a script into it (atleast asfar as I know...)

Please excuse my poor excuse for a Particle Emitter btw
(Not how its coded, just what it does/lookslike ...)

You may just do

function onCreated() {
  with (findimg(200)) {
    layer = 0;
    ...
  }
}

The Wiki/Bible is also very helpful for particles: http://wiki.graal.net/index.php/Particle_Engine

The bible fails to present any working examples of the engine in action, it's all basically syntax. I tinkered around with the system from a sample Skyld generously gave me, and I learnt most of what I utilize now from that.

EDIT:

You also dont have to put it in a gani. onWeaponFired() will suffice for that, I believe you'd have to set the localmodifer movex to playerx+1.5 though.

EDITx2:

Also, dont ever put it in onCreated(), as you'll have to remove the npc from every player using it unless you set a toggle.
