Anybody with some expierence with the new particle system willing to share how I can set the position properties of particles when I set them to ParticlePropertiesMode.LOCAL_DYNAMIC ?

initParticleFunc is only called when the particle is initialized, but I would like my particle to receive a new position everytime it is created.

I would also like to know.

Me too.

More Specifically my problem is i’d like to create, let’s say, a movable torch.

I have a hunch that i need to use LOCAL_DYNAMIC to make the flame follow the torch naturally.

Moving the particle mesh of course makes the flame appear rigid no matter how you move the torch. With a FollowNode it becomes slightly better but the particles get emitted as a trail behind the torch.

I was trying something very similar. I finally achieved the effect with the help of the ParticleFollowNode class.

I found a helpful example here:

Thanks.
That’s the same example i found and it’s a step to the right direction, but as mentioned, it creates this effect

seems like each particle in the geometry set gets emitted once from each position where the ship is at on each enterFrame (?)

I think the same effect is visible in the example if you just set it to move faster.

edit. OK now I’ve effectively hijacked the thread and took it to a different direction :/ . Would still be helpful if someone could instruct us on using LOCAL_DYNAMIC.
