Player 'dust emitter' warnings

by Daniel Buckmaster · in Torque Game Engine · 12/27/2007 (3:30 am) · 1 replies

When you create a Player object without 3 splash emitters, Player::onAdd will spew console warnings. If you have no splash emitters, you get 3 warnings per Player or AIPlayer, which I think is a bit more than necessary to get the message across. Is this a bug or a feature? Personally, I've modified Player::onAdd to onl give one warning per Player object added if there are no splash emitters, and not t warn if at least one emitter is defined.
Also, why does the console warning say a dust emitter is missing when it is splash emitters that are being tested?

    True, and I am seeing one for each AI bot that also uses the player body database. Which is a lot of unwanted times.
