Bubble Particle Troubles [Solved]

[BlueBoxOfWonder]

Trying to use bubbles. Particle cannot be found for some reason. I wasn't sure were to put the files so they are in both My_Objects & Particles.

Code inside the .material says only this:

Code: [Select]

material FXMat/R_Bubbles
{
technique
{
pass
{
lighting off
scene_blend add
depth_write off
fog_override true
cull_hardware none
cull_software none
texture_unit
{
texture R_Bubbles.png
}
}
}
}

I typed R_Bubbles into the particle bar.

Also tried R_Bubbles.material & R_Bubbles.png.

Anyone know what's wrong?

(Yes I've Restarted FH application since downloading)


Solution:

Open up the particle file in notepad and see what the bubble is actually called there. At the top it says
"particle_system [particlename]". Try typing where it says the particle name into your particle box.

The reason you do this is because sometimes the person who creates a particle will have multiple variations of that particle (one that goes up, to the right, to the left, etc.) They'll name the particle file "FireFly" for example, but what you'd actually have to type into the particle maker is "FireflyEast", "FireflyUp", etc. which can only be found by opening particle file itself in notepad.

Here is the code for this particular Particle:

Code: [Select]

particle_system Rain/R_Bubbles

In the particle bar type Rain/R_Bubbles

That's the material for it but you'd have to type the name of the particle file.

They are all named the same thing, or something similar, is the problem. No matter what I put it should be able to find it because they are all listed as R_Bubbles.





Trying R_Bubbles.particle, R_Bubbles2, and R_Bubbles3 also does not work.

Code: [Select]

particle_system Rain/R_Bubbles

I found the issue. The "Rain/" has to be included. Thank you. (Gonna edit my first post to include the solution in case anyone else has this issue.)
