Simple explosion with particles

[fronald]

Hi guys,

I need of a simple explosion effect, like a simple emitter with one single shot of some particles.
I'm trying do it creating emitter and delete one second after, but the particles disappear abruptely.

Anyone know how do it?

Thanks,

Stop emitting first and THEN delete some seconds later.

Nice. But... How stop emitter? Sorry by the question but i not found a method called stop or anyhng like it.

I suspect (not tried) you can call setEmitter(0) on the IParticleSystemSceneNode to stop it emitting.
Or maybe better - call setMaxParticlesPerSecond for the emitter and reduce that number (to 0 or a low value).

Thank you! Works perfect.

Code: Select all

 
this->explosionParticleEmitter->setMaxParticlesPerSecond(0); // Stop emission
