Persistance impact effects [Solved]

ZoomV · Post by **ZoomV** » Thu Dec 03, 2015 5:37 pm

So I created this new explosion effect for a force power. The trouble is the effect doesn't play once and go away, rather it repeats infinitly. Which of course creates problems.

Hidden/Spoiler:

Here is the effect's .fx file

Hidden/Spoiler:

[code]ParticleEmitter("Flash")

	MaxParticles(-1.0000,-1.0000);

	StartDelay(0.0000,0.0000);

	BurstCount(2.0000,2.0000);

	MaxLodDist(500.0000);

EDIT
Nevermind figured it out, it was the max particles property
