Disabling a specific admin orb particle, but not losing the emitter/particle
Demian:
Here's the deal. I made a neat custom admin orb for me, but I do not want the playerTeleportParticleB and playerTeleportEmitterB appear when I orb. The thing is, I want that emitter/particle appear in the wrench gui so I can use it while eventing and apply it to bricks. Currently I disable this particle/emitter in the admin orb by making all the "times" 0, but this also disables the emitter in events. The emitter does appear there, but doesn't produce anything.
Demian:
McTwist came up with the following script. Sadly, it doesn't work as both playerTeleportParticleA and playerTeleportParticleB are removed when orbing (But they can be applied to bricks). But there could be something to it. Anyone know what to do?
--- Code: ---if (isPackage(DropPlayerParticle))
deactivatePackage(DropPlayerParticle);
package DropPlayerParticle
{
function serverCmdDropPlayerAtCamera(%client)
{
%client.removeEmitter = true;
Parent::serverCmdDropPlayerAtCamera(%client);
%client.removeEmitter = false;
}
function Player::teleportEffect(%player)
{
if (%player.client.removeEmitter)
return;
Parent::teleportEffect(%player);
}
};
activatePackage(DropPlayerParticle);
--- End code ---

What exactly are you wanting to accomplish by removing the one specific partice? If you tell me I may be able to help.
Demian:
I want playerTeleportParticleB / playerTeleportEmitterB to be available when eventing. I don't want playerTeleportParticleB/playerTeleportEmitterB to be there when I F7 (Orb to player).
Headcrab Zombie:
He wants to change the adminorb particle used for F8, but still have the original spawnable as an emitter in the wrench menu.
What I'd try is before redefining the adminorbparticle, create a copy of it (forget the word, is it inheritance or something like that?)
I'm inexperienced with particles, I don't know the class names for the particles and emitters and didn't feel like looking so I just guessed
I'm only assuming its the emitter that needs the uiName.
You'll have to change it around a bit.
I can't guarantee this will work, but it may be worth a try.
--- Code: ---datablock ParticleData(originalPlayerTeleportParticleB : playerTeleportParticleB)
{
something = "something"; //defining a new datablock without giving it a value may cause problems
};
datablock ParticleEmitterData(originalPlayerEmitterParticleB : playerTeleportEmitterB)
{
uiName = "Original Player Camera";
};
//define the new one here
