Particle not showing, and "Hack" fix

by Christopher Evans · in iTorque 2D · 01/18/2010 (8:37 pm) · 1 replies

I playing around with a mounted particle to my player. When my player dies, I move him off screen, and then when I re-spawn him I just move him to the center of the screen. Every thing works fine but the particle not showing. At first I thought that particle some how got deleted but it appears it just doesn't render. Because all I do is call "playerParticle.playeffect();" when he is spawned, and everything works fine.

I wondering is this a bug new to iTGB 1.3, and has anyone else seen this?

I think thats meant to be that way that effects moved out completely of the viewable area are disabled. even without them drawing, the updating is a very time consuming thing.
