Help with particle system

[uesports135]

I'm looking for a very simple particle system that I can play around with so I can learn it. I've tried making one myself I've found on another forum but it doesn't work. When I use the following code I get an error - attempt to call method 'setParticleLife' (a nil value)

When I take that line out, nothing seems to happen at all. What am I doing wrong?

local image, particlesystem

function love.load()
image = love.graphics.newImage("Electisock.png")
particlesystem = love.graphics.newParticleSystem(image,8)
particlesystem:setEmissionRate(3)
particlesystem:setParticleLife(5)
particlesystem:setSizes(1.0, 0.8, 0.4, 0.1)
particlesystem:start()
end

function love.update(dt)
particlesystem:update(dt)
end

function love.draw()
love.graphics.draw(particlesystem,100,100)
end

The method name is setParticleLifetime().

Maybe this can help you?

It lets you make particles with an editor and then generates the neccesary code so you can see how they work.
