I can not figure sht out. :)

Hi guys,

I have this missile that has a particle smoke trail attached to itself on creation.

The problem is when I want it to disappear, it will trigger newer created particles to disappear as well.

I would love to get some feedback on why it is happening. Link to file below - Thanks :)

Hey Microbex. So, in your current code you are telling the program to destroy all ParticleSmokes whenever that specific condition is met. You either need to get a reference to the ParticleSmoke you want to destroy (e.g.: check for the object's UID, store a variable referencing the object, etc) or you can try to implement a Container.

I did try containers, but that will delete all the elements in the container and not only the smoke.

I was not so lucky with the UID either, but I will give it a try again. Thanks

Hmm, I am not sure of anything anymore. I just can't get it to work.

Tried serval ideas. Made a FSM for the particle smoke and triggered by distance traveled of the Missile.

Then I gave the particle the UID of the projectile and tried to destroy it with its Missile counterpart. It did not work either.

How would you guys go around this setup?

I would do a similar approach. I would create a variable in ParticleSmoke, like projectilesUID. Then on Projectiles | On created event, pass the Projectiles UID to that variable.

Finally, after this event of yours:

Projectiles | StateFSM = 2

Projectiles | DistanceTravled >= 2000

Add a sub-event with the following:

ParticleSmoke | projectileUID = Projectiles.UID -> ParticleSmoke | Destroy

I did exactly what you did before reading your comment, but still not working. I can not get my head around it. Could it be because of the Repeat/Loopindex?

Here's what I've done:

At least, it worked for me.

I got it working. Seems I made it more complicated as needed. Thanks!
