Post subject:  Emitter Stacking Particles
Hello :grin:

I have a problem with my Shotgun... i have placed an emitter on the flash of the shotgun that emits particles when fired, but when i fire the desired particles that the emitter emits seems to stack for the amount of time it didnt fire

eg. i fire after 1 sec and a few particles show.. i fire after 10 secs and the all the particles that would emit every 1 sec would stack upon until fired

Any one got anything? heres my code for the emitter

Code:
AddEffect = AEmitter
   PresetName = M1014 Flash Effects
   Mass = 0.5
   LifeTime = 5
   RestThreshold = -500
   Sharpness = 0
   GlobalAccScalar = 0
   HitsMOs = 0
   GetsHitByMOs = 0
   SpriteFile = ContentFile
      FilePath = Base.rte/Null.bmp
   FrameCount = 1
   OrientToVel = 0.7
   SpriteOffset = Vector
      X = 0
      Y = 0
   EntryWound = AEmitter
      CopyOf = Dent Metal
   ExitWound = AEmitter
      CopyOf = Dent Metal
   AtomGroup = AtomGroup
      AutoGenerate = 1
      Material = Material
         CopyOf = Military Stuff
      Resolution = 2
      Depth = 0
   DeepGroup = AtomGroup
      AutoGenerate = 1
      Material = Material
         CopyOf = Military Stuff
      Resolution = 4
      Depth = 1
   DeepCheck = 1
   AddEmission = Emission
      EmittedParticle = MOPixel
         CopyOf = Shot Particle Effect
      ParticlesPerMinute = 150
      BurstSize = 1
      Spread = 3.14
      MaxVelocity = 2
      MinVelocity = 0.25
      PushesEmitter = 1
   AddEmission = Emission
      EmittedParticle = MOSParticle
         CopyOf = Shot Smoke
      ParticlesPerMinute = 120
      BurstSize = 1
      Spread = 3.14
      MaxVelocity = 5
      MinVelocity = 0.25
      PushesEmitter = 1
   BurstTriggered = 0
   EmissionEnabled = 1
   EmissionsIgnoreThis = 0
   BurstSize = 0
   BurstScale = 0
   BurstSpacing = 500   
   EmissionDamage = 0
   Flash = None
   FlashOnlyOnBurst = 0


Thx

This is a problem inherent in the game, it is not solvable (when using emitters attached to a MuzzleFlash).
What exactly are you trying to do? Add some effects to the firing?

Then have the bullet be an emitter (or somehting, loo it up in the heavy coa sniper.)

then the effect would follow the bullet :-( i dont want that.

what if... i make the flash emit a MOPixel that makes the flash gib the particles i want, would that work or would it be too slow for it to gib it... or just unsatisfying results?

Make it emit only once.
Also, this could be used to make weapons.

Did you even look at the coalition heavy sniper? It has an emitter that fires the bullet and the muzzle flash.

Put BurstSize = 1 and ParticlesPerMinute = 0 into the BULLET EMISSION definition, and BurstSize = 3 or something and again, ParticlesPerMinute = 0 into the SMOKE EMISSION definition, and then remove it from later on in the aemitter's code, assuming you're copying vanilla stuff. Look at the Coalition Heavy Sniper (AND NOT THE VALUES HOLY CRAP THE SPEED IS STUPID) for more info.
