EllipsoidParticleEmitter ?

Unity Engine
1

Couldn’t find any info on this, what i basically want to do is to create a particle system through script

But i cant figure out how to create the particle emitter!

Any ideas ? i dont want to use the Prefab workaround…

.org

2 
var go : GameObject = new GameObject("foo");
var pe : ParticleEmitter  = go.AddComponent(ParticleEmitter);
var pa : PArticleAnimator = go.AddComponent(ParticleAnimator);
var pr : ParticleRenderer = go.AddComponent(ParticleRenderer);

After that you have references to the comonents and should be able to tweak it as much as you like.

That said, prefabs shouldn’t be considered work-arounds unless you insist on setting every variable using a script.

Ok… tried that before you even posted it and i got this:

Can't produce abstract class
UnityEngine.GameObject:AddComponent(Type)
TestPE:Start() (at Assets/Test/TestingParticleEmitter/TestPE.js:6)

[ParticleEmitter.h line 14]

o == NULL
UnityEngine.GameObject:AddComponent(Type)
TestPE:Start() (at Assets/Test/TestingParticleEmitter/TestPE.js:6)

[BaseObject.cpp line 324]

Can't add component because the component 'ParticleEmitter' can't be produced.
UnityEngine.GameObject:AddComponent(Type)
TestPE:Start() (at Assets/Test/TestingParticleEmitter/TestPE.js:6)

[MonoExportUtility.cpp line 601]

So i cant AddComponent() a ParticleEmitter because its abstract… but then i tried to find something about the Ellipsoid Particle Emitter and i could not find any info about it…

The type EllipsoidParticleEmitter is not even recognized…

Assets/Test/TestingParticleEmitter/TestPE.js(6,53): BCE0005: Unknown identifier: 'EllipsoidParticleEmitter'.

Thanks
