I have created an erupting volcano map, by adding a particle emitter to the caldera (volcano's crater), in the editor, with Realtime Render option ticked, it displays the blobs of lava flying out all around the volcano. When I try to run it from script, in debug or run, the map loads but the emitter does not display. I thought maybe its been Reset and I need to get it to Play(). I can not find how to reference the objects which show in the Scene tab in the map editor, from Lua script. I don't want to create the emitter, and set its values, within the script. In App.lua i've set up the map to load --Load a map local mapfile = system:GetProperty("map","Maps/Erruption.map") If Map:Load(mapfile,1)==false then return false end // play ParticleEmitter2 which is the last item added on the Scene tab in the map editor. ParticleEmitter2.Play() // gives Error attempt to index global 'PaticleEmitter2' (a nil value) return true end How should I reference that emitter contained in the loaded map using lua code? Ive tried, prefixing the line with self.map., self.world.map. , self.context.map. self.world: and lots of other combos to no avail.
