Send Message 'Emit' to a particleSystem doesn't work
« on: August 31, 2012, 01:26:13 PM »
I'm new to playMaker, so maybe I'm doing this wrong. I have an action 'Send Message' which selects a GameObject with an attached particleSystem component. I'm sending the message 'Emit' with integer parameter '5' to make it emit 5 particles. But it says there's no receiver.

Anyone done something similar and gotten it working?

well, i've not used the send-message action but i have set up FSMs which triggered the change of particle parameters with the "set property" action... you can add the action, drag the "particle emitter" from the inspector into the appropriate field then select which variable/parameter you wish to change and set the proper values with that.
