Can We Manipulate Particle Emitters in TorqueScript?

by William Lee Sims · in Torque 2D Beginner · 09/29/2013 (1:29 pm) · 2 replies

In the old Torque2D, I could use TorqueScript to manipulate a particle effect, enumerate it's emitters, and the graphs (key/value pairs) of its emitters.

In the new Torque2D, I don't see a way to take a Particle Player and then manipulate its emitters.

Am I overlooking something, or is this not possible in the current version?

Thanks!

You can use TorqueScript to manipulate ParticleAssets and their ParticleAssetEmitters. Is that what you are looking for? ParticlePlayer really just "displays" the contents of a ParticleAsset in the Scene.

Thanks! That's exactly what I needed (and some extra bits that made what I wanted to do even easier).
