I keep getting this error on a script:

From: someone

Experimental Particle w/ touch script (246, 13):
PSYS error: rule 15 error, PSYS_SRC_TARGET_KEY needs key data

The script looks like this:

From: someone

integer psystemrunning = FALSE;

default
{
touch_start(integer n)
{
if(!psystemrunning)
{
// start your psystem here
llParticleSystem([
PSYS_PART_FLAGS, PSYS_PART_TARGET_POS_MASK|PSYS_PART_EMISSIVE_MASK,
PSYS_SRC_PATTERN, PSYS_SRC_PATTERN_ANGLE,
PSYS_PART_START_COLOR, <1.0, 1.0, 1.0>,
PSYS_PART_START_SCALE, <0.1, 0.1, 0.0>,
PSYS_PART_START_ALPHA, 1.0,
PSYS_PART_END_ALPHA, 1.0,
PSYS_SRC_ANGLE_BEGIN, 0.0,
PSYS_SRC_ANGLE_END, 0.0,
PSYS_SRC_BURST_RATE, 0.1,
PSYS_SRC_BURST_PART_COUNT, 350,
PSYS_SRC_BURST_RADIUS, 0.0,
PSYS_SRC_BURST_SPEED_MAX, 0.1,
PSYS_SRC_BURST_SPEED_MIN, 0.1,
PSYS_SRC_ACCEL, <0.0, 0.0, 0.1>,
PSYS_SRC_OMEGA, <0.0, 6.0, 10.0>,
PSYS_SRC_TARGET_KEY,"33b40396-7ccf-fe50-b39c-fa18ac159e1d",
PSYS_SRC_TEXTURE, "A76A6562-3CF1-D64D-8FE6-64C679D4D96F"
]);
psystemrunning = TRUE;
}
else
{
llParticleSystem([]);
// clear your psystem here
psystemrunning = FALSE;

}
}
}

I have checked and double checked the target key and it is correct. Maybe the format is wrong?

Thanks in advance for any help!

This may be wrong, but, despite the fact that keys are strings, keys and strings are two different types. Try casting that string to key by putting (key) in front of it. Also, I'm not sure about having that texture key in all caps like that.

sry, im not a good troubleshooter, BUT the texture key probably isnt the prob if its talking about the target key

The particle flags are very picky about what you give. For instance, when it says float, it means float (not like anything else where submitting 1 = 1.0).

I'd have to say, dispense with the strings, and use real keys. I've done this before and that's what I did, and it worked.

put (key) in front of the key and that will most likely fix the problem
