Emit Particle when the parent gets collision
I'm making an evasion game where you have to evade objects with a ball in a random generated world. When that ball hits an object, that object has to emit a particle. But when the ball hits the object , that object doesnt emit a thing. And when the prefab of that object spawns again the particle is constantly emitting.
this is the code i used to emit the particle the private var goan gets a boolean from the object (true = collision on object)
private var hitParticles : ParticleEmitter;
private var goan = FlasherScript.ParticleEmit;
function Start () {
hitParticles = GetComponentInChildren(ParticleEmitter);
if (hitParticles) {
hitParticles.emit = false;
}
}
function Update () {
if(goan == true) {
Emitten();
}
}
function Emitten() {
hitParticles.emit = true;
yield WaitForSeconds(3);
hitParticles.emit = false;
}
What is "FlasherScript.ParticleEmit" ?
Also, you said "When that ball hits an object, that object has to emit a particle. But when the ball hits the object , that object doesnt emit a thing." ... I believe you meant something else there, so try clarifying this sentence. It will help us better understand what you are trying to achieve here.
You are only initializing goan (i.e. once). Try something more like this:
private var hitParticles : ParticleEmitter;
private var goan = false;
function Start () {
hitParticles = GetComponentInChildren(ParticleEmitter);
if (hitParticles) {
hitParticles.emit = false;
}
}
function Update () {
if (FlasherScript.ParticleEmit && !goan) {
goan = true;
Emitten();
}
}
function Emitten() {
hitParticles.emit = true;
yield WaitForSeconds(3);
hitParticles.emit = false;
goan = false;
}
You could simplify it a lot further too (the goan variable isn't really needed at all), but the above hopefully highlights the mistake.
Thx , now the partical emits when it collides , strange thing is they don't stop emitting.
But you were a great help, Big Thanks! ;)
