does anyone know how to get at the particle material(or is it a staticSprite) in code?
...so I can switch it with another material

Dan I have not tried it but if you have the T2DParticleEffect, it seems you can get at it like this.

T2DParticleEffect _foo;
_foo.CurrentEffectData.EmitterDataList[0].Material

Now if you have multiple emitters you will have to know which emitter is which. There is also a MaterialName in there, don't know if you have to deal with that as well.

I hope this is helpful.

hey that worked thanks!

unfortunately, it changes the materials of the particles already emitted aswell,
any idea how i'd get around that one?
