Particled Trigger

by Richard_H · in Torque Game Engine · 12/17/2006 (5:17 pm) · 6 replies

Hi,

I'm trying to spawn a particle emitter when I place a trigger, yet there is about no documentation for AttachEffect (the most promising function) and I can't seem to get onAdd to work. create also seems like looking into. Here is what I have so far:
function unlimitedRFoodTrigger::onAdd( %this, %obj )
{
   %pos = %obj.getPosition();
   %p = new ParticleEmitterNode() {
      position = %pos;
      datablock = "MRFoodSourceEmitterNode";
      emitter = MRFoodSourceEmitter;
   };
   MissionCleanup.add(%p);
   error("Added!");
}
Does anyone know the simplist way to get this to work?

After some work with DEDEN on the forums I got it to work with onAdd, but that has the problem of giving the occasional duplicate. So I would like to write it using ::create, does anyone know how I would start doing this?

function unlimitedRFoodTrigger::onAdd( %this, %obj )
{
   if ( !isObject( %obj.emitter ) )
   {
      %pos = %obj.getPosition();
      %obj.emitter = new ParticleEmitterNode() {
         position = %pos;
         datablock = "MRFoodSourceEmitterNode";
         emitter = MRFoodSourceEmitter;
      };
      %obj.emitter.setTransform( %pos SPC "1 0 0 0" );
      MissionCleanup.add( %obj.emitter );
      error("Added!");
   }
}

Sorry. So long to reply, I forgot about the thread.. Anyway.

%obj.emitter.delete();
