help: Editing Particle Count

[svenip]

what do you mean exactly ?? after the emitter has stopped you can't change the amount except particles die, but only the emitter can create new ones. or you want to clamp the amount to a defined number of particles ??

[wrend]

there is "emit", for adding additionals, umm:


{
$nP = 1000; // # of particles to add
string $addPartix = "emit -o particleShape1 "; // particle name
for ($i=0; $i< $nP; $i++)
{
$pos = unit(sphrand(1)) * 7; // method of distrib
$addPartix = ($addPartix + "-pos " + $pos + " ");
}
eval $addPartix;
}
