I got Invalid arguments in an Particle function, and dont know why. Im using A6 v.6.60
function rocket_smoke()
{
while (1)
{
effect(rocket_smoke_behavior() ,50, my.x, normal);
}
}
function rocket_smoke_behavior()
{
my.bmap = pcxSmokeParticel;
my.TRANSPARENT = on;
my.alpha = 60 ;
my.lifespan = 80;
my.flare = on;
my.bright = on;
my.move = on;
my.function = fade_smoke();
}
function fade_smoke()
{
my.TRANSPARENT = on;
my.alpha -= 1.2 * time_step;
if (my.alpha <= 0) { my.lifespan = 0; }
}
The invalid argument is in function fade_smoke INVALID ARGUMENT : (my.alpha <= 0)Please, anyone may help me. I took the code from AUM, and from manual, i dont know why this is an invalid argument. Thanks to all Mike

hey, remove the brackets change effect(rocket_smoke_behavior() ,50, my.x, normal); to effect(rocket_smoke_behavior, 50, my.x, normal); also add a wait(1) to your while loop hope this helps

Yes, thanks, that worked, BUT: My big mistake was: i did not put the functions in the right order. This was the right one:
function fade_smoke()
{
my.alpha -= 0.8 * time_step;
if (my.alpha <= 0)
{
my.lifespan = 0;
}
}
function rocket_smoke_behavior()
{
my.bmap = pcxSmokeParticel;
my.TRANSPARENT = on;
my.alpha = 50 ;
my.lifespan = 80;
my.flare = on;
my.size = 10;
my.bright = on;
my.move = on;
my.function = fade_smoke;
}
function rocket_smoke()
{
while (1)
{
effect(rocket_smoke_behavior,1, my.x, velocity);
wait (1);
}
}
Thanks for all, now i solved it :-)

Thanks for all, now i solved it :-) the problem you had was placing brackets, arranging function order wasn't the problem you can define the functions beforehand
