Emitters going crazy?

[Marcousik]

Look please at that video out of a map 4096*4096

Emitters are strangely summoning all particles at one time... Particles are going her way as defined in the editor...then all particles disappear together.

are particles not supposed to be summoned randomly ? Did anybody had to to with this? thx

There is a setting that will do that.

When does this happen?

Hello and thx for answer. I made more tests.

And it is clear that it happens after a long time of loading vegetation models on the map but not edited with the vegetation tool whereas generated with script.

Disabling the script-loaded vegetation make the map load quicker and emitters are back normal.

Edit

you mean this: https://www.leadwerks.com/learn?page=API-Reference_Object_Entity_Emitter_SetReleaseQuantity

 

Edit2: Solutions

Seems to be solved if  the emitters are created with a script running after the world is rendered, so a few second after start() finished is enough to let the emitters run normal - as expected.

Editor created emitters and emitters scripted in start function seem to be disturbed through a longer map loading time...

> Or add this little script to the editor-created emitters - it will solve the bug and will have almost no performances cost:

Quote

function Script:Start()
    self.emitter = tolua.cast(self.entity,"Emitter")
    self.Timer=Time:GetCurrent() 
    self.korrigiert=false
end

function Script:UpdateWorld()

    if Time:GetCurrent()-self.Timer>50000 and self.korrigiert==false then    --//--- 50000 or more depends on loading map time !! --//---
        self.emitter:SetReleaseQuantity(1) self.korrigiert=true
    elseif self.korrigiert==true then System:Print("Bye bug! ") self.entity:SetScript(nil)
    end

end

Here on the video see the bug be solved ^^ on the flames and red smoke
