Well it has been a while since i have scripted particles and things seem to have changed. doing llParticleSystem([]) is supposed to shut them of. Well it does not all the time, and it very random. I have two computer set up. One will show the particles off the other won't and it completely random as to when they are not off. Very frustrating. It seem to be a client update issue.
Any ideas or work arounds?

I hope this isn't a feature of the latest client, as a large amount of my magic relies heavily on the llParticleSystem.
Another option to turn off particles, rather than using an empty array on an llParticleSystem call, is to use set the PSYS_SRC_MAX_AGE to 0.001 and the PSYS_PART_MAX_AGE to about the same.

Adding an llSetText(" ", <1.0, 1.0, 1.0>, 0.0); line afterwards seems to help too.
Rumour, entirely unfounded, suggest that the asset server thinks it's done it, but the prim sometimes misses the message. I guess *any* of the calls that force a full prim update will do, but the llSetText one took a system that was misfiring about 1 in 5 to about 1 in 100 or less.

The set text works for llTargetOmega and have tried for this with no effect. It may just be a combination of PSYS_SRC and PSYS_PART on this one thing I'm working on. I really don't know. Again, not all veiwers/clients see it the same. Some one may see it as off and someone else may see it as on. Never liked the PSYS_PART_MAX_AGE. becasue everytime a person flew into view of the object it would start spewing out particles. But setting it to a really small number sounds like a good idea. I;m so fed up with work arounds in scripts. soon we will need work arounds for work arounds to fix work arounds. heh. |
