Particle LINEX Emission Size Problem

by Rich Wilson · in Torque X 2D · 02/06/2007 (11:09 am) · 2 replies

I've got a LINEX emission particle set up in the TGBX editor like so: http://www.ludomancer.com/storage/emitterScreen01.jpg

It basically spans the entire width of the screen. When I run the game, however, all of the particles are emitting from a little ball at the center of the top of the screen, like this:

Is this a bug, or something I'm missing somewhere?

Definitely a bug. Thanks for reporting it. TGBX isn't saving out the area size, and thus everything is acting like it has 'point' set for the emitter area. It'll be fixed in the next build.

I tried manually adding

1280
100


To the level XML file under the EmitterData block, but there was no change. Is that even the right block to add and correct place to put it?
