Unable to see Particle Effects

by Jared Quintana · in Torque Game Builder · 05/30/2008 (3:33 pm) · 2 replies

I just purchased TGB Pro and am going through the tutorials. In the Create section of Particle Effects I can only see the "new Effect" and "ggLogo" squares. That is those are the only two that have images. All the others are black. When I move the rain into the camera area I do not see any particles. But if I move ggLogo I get the Logo effect fine. I have attached the rain to the cloud but when I run it I do not see any particles.

I have double checked and the rain.eff is in the correct location.

Does anyone have any suggestions.

I should have added I am using an Nvidia GeForce 8700M GT driver version 7.15.11.6375
Vista
DX 10

OK, looking into it a bit more I have found the default "Emitter - rain" "Image" is empty.

It looks like a lot of them do not have images set.

I set it to asteroidsImageMap and now I have thousands of tiny asteroids falling.

Is there a way I can create my own Maps. If so where would they go inorder to be in the pull down menu?

Thanks,

Jared

Yes, look for the imageMap tutroial.
There is a button in the editor to create new imageMaps
