RenderParticle runs ahead of model despite...

Post by rrTea »

..."FollowModel" turned off.

I'd expect that unticking RenderParticles / FollowModel tickbox means the particles will go on about their business independently from the model that draws them in its OnRender once the particle is launched.

But if the particles are rendered first, the particles source actually moves ahead of the model, and the particles themselves keep moving too. Example below. Note that by the time the model reaches the right hand edge of the screen, the particle sprayer is quite ahead of the model.

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?> 
<ZApplication Name="App" Caption="ZGameEditor application" ClearColor="0.4627 0.7373 0.9608 1" FrameRateStyle="2" FixedFrameRate="60" CameraPosition="0 0 5" NoSound="1"> 
  <OnLoaded> 
    <SpawnModel Model="Glow"/> 
  </OnLoaded> 
  <OnUpdate> 
    <ZExpression Comment="Glitter Liveliness" Expression="ColorMonoGlowy.Color.A = 0.2+rnd()*0.8;"/> 
  </OnUpdate> 
  <Content> 
    <Material Name="ColorMonoGlowy" Shading="1" Color="1 1 1 0.3414" Light="0" Blend="2"/> 
    <Model Name="Glow" Velocity="0.2 0 0" Scale="0.25 0.25 1"> 
      <OnRender> 
        <UseMaterial Material="ColorMonoGlowy"/> 
        <RenderParticles ParticlesPerSecond="10" Spread="3.14" ParticleWidth="0.75" ParticleHeight="0.75" Speed="0.5" SpeedRange="0.2" ParticleLifetime="1" AnimateAlpha="-1" AnimateSize="-0.5" FollowModel="0"/> 
        <UseMaterial Material="ColorMonoGlowy"/> 
        <RenderSprite/> 
      </OnRender> 
    </Model> 
  </Content> 
</ZApplication>
