Re: Particles suddenly disappearing

It also happens with static particle life, only to a lesser extent. How do other people deal with this problem? Do you just not use the particle system? Or only with additive or subtractive blending, where drawing order doesn't matter? Or do you only use 1-coloured particles? Or does the flicker not...

Re: Particles suddenly disappearing

Can nobody help me? This problem is not resolved, it would be nice if someone who understands the problem could enlighten me. As it is, I can't use the particle system for any dense system with properly shaded particles, as the flicker is immediately obvious. Do I have to write a particle system of ...

Re: Particles suddenly disappearing

The condition is met when the map is created. We have a function called GameMap:init() which loads all the layers. For the object layers, it creates a new object layer instance and calls the function ObjectLayer:init(objects) which iterates over each object in the layer. If the object type is "...

Particles suddenly disappearing

I encountered a problem with using particle systems, which I can neither seem to solve myself, nor find anything concerning it on the forums. Some particles in the system I set up will just suddenly pop out of existence, instead of gradually fading as I thought they should with the colours I assigne...
