Particles not playing in editor side bar

by Joe Rossi · in Torque Game Builder · 05/18/2007 (10:38 pm) · 1 replies

For some reason my particles aren't playing in the editor sidebar. They play when I run the .exe (my version or otherwise) from the installation directory, but if I run it from any other folder the thumbnail boxes will just turn gray when I mouseover them. Anyone else noticing this? I think if you just copy and paste the freshly installed installation directory to another directory (I named mine "bummer" lol) it will happen for you too.

If anyone else has this issue, for a quick fix you can go into \tgb\tools\levelEditor\scripts\forms\objectLibrary\particleEffects.ed.cs

and comment the line that says
%particleEffect.setPaused(true);
And all the particles will play in the preview thumbs, just like the animated sprite previews do (which makes me wonder..shouldn't the particle previews look the same way?).
