TX2D 3.1.5 Beta - Particles Emitters parsed the wrong way

by Giuseppe De Francesco · in Torque X 2D · 06/25/2010 (9:53 am) · 2 replies

Build: 3.1.5 Beta

Platform: Windows 7, 32 bit (I think it doesn't matter)

Target: Editor

Issues: Particles Emitters are rendered bottom-up while in the game they are rendered the other way around.

Steps to Repeat:
1. Add a simple particle effect in a scene
2. Add two emitters: you'll have the first emitter's particles on top of the second's.
3. Run the game: the particles of the second emitter are shown on top of the first's.

This should be addressed in the editor to avoid consequences on existent games.

    Fixed. Please add the following code to your "...Tools/TorqueX2D/Engine/Source/T2D/t2dParticleEffect.cc" file on line 1814 to fix the problem.

    for ( S32 n = mParticleEmitterList.size()-1; n >= 0 ; n-- )

    The for loop was previously iterating through the list of particle emitters backwards. You may have the same line on line 1813 commented out. Feel free to just delete the line below it and uncomment it.

    EDIT: This would be awesome if you had access to the source code... >.<
