Ok so i started to play around with particles today, but i ran
into some problems that just make me want to rip my hair our.
I downloaded the easy particle 3.1 and i make a simple particle
effect then i generate and save it. I built a small empty
level to see if it worked and it did it worked like a charm.
Then i go to put it into a script that i made a few weeks
ago, like it says i put in #include <name.wdl> but when i go to
run this level it finds tons of errors with this particle
script. This doesn't make any sense to me if it worked when
it wasn't included in the script why doesn't it work when it
is included.
Here is the particle wdl
/***************************************************
flaming.wdl, created with EasyParticle 3.1.
This script can be used free and without credits.
How to use:
Implement the script via include <flaming.wdl>; in your main WDL file.
The action name is: flame_action
If you recognize any mistakes in the script, please contact the support ( Support@EasyParticle.de ).
Have fun with the script

}If any1 can help me out here and tell me why this is happening maybe?
Thanks.
