ParticleEmitters in 1.5.2, other objects aren't loading..

by Meyou · in General Discussion · 02/10/2008 (6:38 am) · 4 replies

Everything is going fantastic with my mission but I want to load a few Environment objects when I try to load just about anything from Environments nothing happens. It brings up the detail box for each object but nothing happens...I can load some things from the list like shapRep, foliagRep, light object, but I can't load any particles, lightning, precipitation, can someone tell me what the problem is and how to get these to load?

Ok, well, let me ask another stupid question since apparently I have no clue as to what I'm doing, just running around aimlessy trying to be the next greatest game developer.....do you have to code each particle emitter? If so would someone please tell me so I can move on to something else..please...?!? I'm not a programmer and I'll never claim to be, I just want to see some particles in my level..is that too much to ask....apparently it is!

Just noticed this.
To use a particle emitter, you need a particle emitter node, and the actual particle emitter.
If you look in server/scripts/sqExamples.cs, you will see how several types of particle emitters are setup.
