Question regarding particle limit

Post by Eaol »

Hey guys!

Primary question:

Does the LOD of any particular effect affect the particle limit in-game? Say, if I have this super cool explosion and it goes off beyond the particle's LOD and doesn't appear on my screen, but I'm looking in its general direction, does it still count toward the limit?

I'm pretty sure it does still count toward the limit, yeah. The issue I think Battlefront has is that it doesn't remove the instantiated particle emitters that are spawned after the particles are done firing, i.e., it doesn't do any post-firing cleanup of any sort.
