Particle system problem

[Dasii Starfall]

Can someone tell me why this particle system call doesn't work?

 

            llParticleSystem([
                PSYS_PART_FLAGS, 0
                    |PSYS_PART_EMISSIVE_MASK
                    |PSYS_PART_INTERP_COLOR_MASK
                    |PSYS_PART_INTERP_SCALE_MASK
                    |PSYS_PART_TARGET_LINEAR_MASK
                    ,
                PSYS_PART_START_COLOR, <1,1,1>,
                PSYS_PART_END_COLOR, <0,1,0>,
                PSYS_PART_START_ALPHA, 0,8,
                PSYS_PART_END_ALPHA, 0,5,
                PSYS_SRC_BURST_RATE , 0.0,
                PSYS_PART_START_SCALE,<.2,.2,.2>,
                PSYS_PART_END_SCALE,<1.5,1.5,1.5>,
                PSYS_SRC_BURST_PART_COUNT, 10,
                PSYS_SRC_TARGET_KEY, vehicle,
                PSYS_SRC_ACCEL,<0,0,0>

      ]);

 

It compiles OK, but then fails with runtime error: PSYS error: Rule 5 error, PSYS_SRC_ACCEL needs vector data.

As I understand it, PSYS_SRC_ACCEL is ignored when a target is used. I have it there with vector data. Removing it does not change the error.

I'm sure I'm just not seeing something.... but, yeah, I'm not seeing it.

Also, what should the particle system call to turn off the particles look like?

I don't know the answer the the first question (I have used every particle system parameter EXCEPT PSYS_SRC_TARGET_KEY), but to turn the particle system off,  give it an empty list:

llParticleSystem([]);

Try this ....

integer gON;default{    touch_start(integer total_number)    {        if(gON)        {            llParticleSystem([                PSYS_PART_FLAGS, 0                    |PSYS_PART_EMISSIVE_MASK                    |PSYS_PART_INTERP_COLOR_MASK                    |PSYS_PART_INTERP_SCALE_MASK                    |PSYS_PART_TARGET_LINEAR_MASK                    ,                PSYS_PART_START_COLOR, <1,1,1>,                PSYS_PART_END_COLOR, <0,1,0>,                PSYS_PART_START_ALPHA, 0.8,                PSYS_PART_END_ALPHA, 0.5,                PSYS_SRC_BURST_RATE , 0.0,                PSYS_PART_START_SCALE,<0.2,0.2,0.2>,                PSYS_PART_END_SCALE,<1.5,1.5,1.5>,                PSYS_SRC_BURST_PART_COUNT, 10,                PSYS_SRC_TARGET_KEY, llGetKey(),                PSYS_SRC_ACCEL, <0.0,0.0,0.0>      ]);        }         else        {            llParticleSystem([]);        }        gON = !gON;    }           }

 If you look carefully, you'll see that you had commas where a couple of decimal points belonged.  I bet no scripter has ever done that before.  :smileytongue:
