Hello!
I am trying to make a smokegrenade and so far it is going great, but i have run into a problem with the smoke particle itself.
When i move back and forth while looking at the smokegrenade as it is emitting, the smoke grows and shrinks as i move, it constantly fills my entire screen. I think it has something to do with the ‘Max Particle Size’ = 1.
How can i allow it to fill the entire screen but not have to?
Your particles are probably just way too big, or sizeGrow is too high (on Legacy, 1 is double every second, which is huge on a 10-second lifetime.)
Try setting maxParticleSize to 5 (which is effectively no limit – means you can be seeing 1/5th of a giant smoke particle) and “starting over” with default particle sizes.
What often happens is, maxParticleSize starts at 0.25 – particles can be a quarter of the visible screen. For something meant to be large, like a smoke screen, you hit that limit. Then it’s easy to crank the particle size way past, and have it not seem to do anything. Then you finally find maxParticleSize, but now all it does it let you see the humongous particles you’ve made, so it looks broken.
That fixed the problem, thank you!
