Hi,
currently i need to set a particles position directly.
For this purpose, i save all particles in a list to access them.
(these particles are never deleted)

the global vars:


the particle function to initialize itself


this should store the particles BUT when i loop through the registered range(0 to FirstPIndex-1) to manipulate the positions, nothing happens to them :|



Someone has an idea?

Flüchtigkeits Fehler. Schau dir die Indizes mal an.
So sollte es aussehen

muffel

ou...shame on me^^

But something is still wrong:

even after correcting, the particles do not changes their position according to the set values.

For testing purpose, i changed the list to store entities instead of Particles(and added entities) but they didnt change either. So something is still wrong o.O

And something that bothers me:
it seems a particle MUST have a function. The above particle function executes itself each frame(which leads to an array overflow). So i added a dummy event which just sets lifespan to 100.

Isnt it possible to just create undead particles without a function? thats currecntly up to 5k unecessary call stuff per frame

EDIT: okay that worked for some reason:

Of course you can use particles without functions. You can either pass NULL to effect or use a function in effect to initialize the particles and the manually set p->event to NULL.

Why "for some reason"? Is there anything unclear?

The worked for "some reason" has the open question in my mind:

what is the difference between:



and



The first doesnt work(but no exception/error), but the second works. Can someone explain this behaviour to me?

This is called Lite-C
I ran into this problem also and i hate it...

try with
(List[Index])->x

and a tip from my side:
#define PRAGMA_POINTER
