I've been trying to get llMakeFountain to work for a bit now, and it just doesn't seem to work. The script editor complains that my function call doesn't have the right number of arguments or there's a type mismatch. The function signature is:

llMakeFountain(integer particles, float scale, float velocity, float lifetime, float arc, string texture, vector offset);

and I tried to call:

llMakeFountain(20, 6.0, 0.1, 5.0, PI, "smokey", ZERO_VECTOR);

llMakeSmoke, llMakeFire and llMakeExplosion all take the same arguments, and they all work. Am I missing something, or is the documentation just wrong?

Thanks,
Bret

The old particle functions

They have been slated to be disabled since almost before time began. You should be using llParticleSystem.

Not sure what's going on there, but like Strife said, you should really be using the general particle setter. llMakeFountain could be disabled at any time, breaking the things you make with it.

Bret, search for Jopsy Pendragon's Particle Laboratory in Teal and have fun playing around with the tutorials and example scripts there.
