Particle Attempt :D

[killerogue]

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated() {
  with (findimg(200)) {
    layer = 1;
    x = player.x;
    y = player.y;
    
    emitter.delaymin = 1;
    emitter.delaymax = 1;
    emitter.nrofparticles = 1;
    emitter.maxparticles = 1;
    emitter.autorotation = true;
    emitter.emitautomatically = true;
    
    emitter.particle.lifetime = 10;
    emitter.particle.image = "block.png";
    emitter.particle.spin = 10;
    emitter.particle.speed = 0;
    
    emitter.emit();
  }
} 


I've been trying to learn something about particles, but I can't even get it to spin! :P Even with the spin variable. What could I be doing wrong? :o

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated() 
{

  with (findimg(200)) 
  {
    layer = 3;
    x = player.x;
    y = player.y;

    with (emitter) 
    {
      delaymin = 1;
      delaymax = 1;
      nrofparticles = 1;
      maxparticles = 1;

      with (particle) 
      {
        lifetime = 10;
        image = "block.png";
        spin = 3;
        speed = 1;
      }

      emit();
    }

  }
} 


ya need speed i think

[killerogue]

Meh, I tried speed. Didn't work. I copy and pasted what you wrote. And then it works. XD

Well, thanks for the assistance.

Oh, and Stan

emitautomatically is true by default I think, so you don't need emit()

When using emit() you should have emitautomatically set to false :O

what dose this do?:
with (findimg(200)) {

and why 200?

[killerogue]

with() puts the current scope of the script inside the object in the parameters. When using findimg inside with, it first looks for an already created image with the index of 200. Then if there is not one, it creates one.

If you want the image to show to client only, give it an index of 200 or above. However if you want the image to be visible to everyone, give it an index lower than 200.

I wonder why that number is 200 and not 255? :o

[DustyPorViva]

I think that only applies if you're trying to fit info into one byte, like a max to money or such.

[Inverness]

Yea I know, but it is computer scripting so it seems more fitting to use 255 :P

why not just use 1 or 2?

is there like a gradiance or something?

For some reason you quoted the answer of your question..

An index is only an assignment much like you give something a variable assignment. Any showimg from 1 to 199 is exactly the same in all of it's properties same as any showimg 200 and up is exactly the same in it's properties. Of course this doesn't mean they aren't individual showimgs...

so can you have findimg(13612895676293894687249) ??
