Emitter not working

[Switch]

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]

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

[Switch]

Okay thanks

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

Edit:
LOL I don't like this emitter system :[

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE 
function onCreated() {
  CreateEmitter();
}
function CreateEmitter() {
  with (findimg(1)) { 
    layer = 2;

      attachposition = true; 
      delaymin = 10;

      emissionoffset = {0,0,0}; 
      firstinfront = false; 
      nrofparticles = 1; 
      maxparticles = 60; 
     
      particle.lifetime = 12; 
      particle.image = "g4_particle_whitespot.png"; 
      particle.mode = 0; 
      particle.alpha = .99; 
      particle.red = .89; 
      particle.green = .76; 
      particle.blue = .49; 
      particle.zoom = 2; 
      particle.angle = pi/165; 
      particle.speed = 2; 
      particle.spin = 2; 
      particle.stretchx = 1; 
      particle.strechy = 1; 

      addLocalModifier("range",0,12,"alpha","replace",1,0);
      addLocalModifier("range",0,12,"zoom","replace",2,0);
    }
  }
}

function onWeaponFired() {
  this.on = 1 - this.on;
  if (this.on == 1) {
    setTimer(0.05);
  }
  if (this.on == 0) {
    setTimer(0);
  }
}

function onTimeOut() {
  with (findimg(1)) {
    layer = 2;
    x = random(0,60);
    y = random(0,60);
    emitter.emit();
  }
  setTimer(0.05);
}

Suggestions??

[Admins]

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

[Switch]

No that didn't work :[

Yes try what I said

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.

[PrinceOfKenshin]

don't put

PHP Code:

emitter.addLocalModifier 


put

PHP Code:

emitter.addlocalModifier 


lower case l = )

[Switch]

Nope :[

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]

Nope.

It keeps saying the same thing in RC

GraalScript: function emitter.addLocalModifier not found at line ___ of switch-test of script Switch/Test

[PrinceOfKenshin]

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

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated() {
  with (findimg(201)) {
    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();
  }
} 


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

[Switch]

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

GraalScript: Function emitter.addlocalModifier not found at line 31 in script of Switch/Test
GraalScript: Function emitter.addlocalModifier not found at line 32 in script of Switch/Test

[Inverness]

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]

No it's "TGraalVar"

[Kyranki]

Originally Posted by Switch

Then it's the wrong graal object.

[Switch]

Then what am I supposed to use? It says to use emitter. commands in TGC's guide...

[Inverness]

Try this.emitter inside the with part.

[Switch]

That still didnt work..

[Inverness]

this.emitter.addlocalmodifier() does not work?

lol, I have no idea then.

[Switch]

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.

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE 
function onCreated() {
  CreateEmitters();
}
function CreateEmitters() {
  with (findImg( 200)) {
    layer = 2;
    with (emitter) {
    
      delaymin = 5;
      delaymax = 5;
      nrofparticles = 1;
      maxparticles = 75;
      emissionoffset = {0,0,0};
      firstinfront = false;
      attachposition = true;  
 
      particle.speed = 2;
      particle.lifetime = 5;
      particle.image = "g4_particle_whitespot.png";
      particle.alpha = .99;
      particle.zoom = 2;
      particle.red = .92;
      particle.green = .26;
      particle.blue = .52;
      particle.stretchx = 1;
      particle.stretchy = 1;

      addlocalmodifier("range",0,12,"alpha","replace",1,0);
      addlocalmodifier("range",0,12,"zoom","replace",2,0);
    }
  }
}

function onWeaponFired() {
  this.on = 1 - this.on;
  if (this.on == 1) {
    setTimer(0.05);
  }
  if (this.on == 0){
    setTimer(0);
  }
}

function onTimeOut() {
  with (findimg(200)) {
    layer = 2;
    x = random(0,60);
    y = random(0,60);
    emitter.emit();
  }
  setTimer(0.05);
} 


[Switch]

please I really need to know why it wont work

[zokemon]

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]

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

[zokemon]

I could have fixed it

[Inverness]

Never knew the spaces could make a difference

[Switch]

Yeah @ Iverness :o

[Inverness]

Ugh, so many people leave out the N when they spell my name

[Switch]

Iverness sounds better. Inverness is too original for my mental capacity :o
I'll try to remember

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.

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

It's In-ver-ness not Aye-n-ver-ness
