Emitter on Vehicle Not Showing Up.

[Azerath]

So I'm trying to make a smoke effect from a muffler, so I took the script from the stunt plane, and chopped off the bits I needed for it, but when I tested it to make sure it shows up, it doesn't.
I use this:

Code: [Select]

datablock ParticleData(GoKartParticle)
{
   dragCoefficient      = 0;
   windCoefficient     = 0;
   gravityCoefficient   = 0;
   inheritedVelFactor   = 0.0;
   constantAcceleration = 0.0;
   spinRandomMin = -90;
   spinRandomMax = 90;
   lifetimeMS           = 500;
   lifetimeVarianceMS   = 0;
   textureName          = "base/data/particles/cloud";
   colors[0]     = "1 1 1 1";
   colors[1]     = "0.2 0.2 1 0";
   sizes[0]      = 0.1;
   sizes[1]      = 0.05;
};

datablock ParticleEmitterData(GoKartEmitter)
{
   ejectionPeriodMS = 1;
   periodVarianceMS = 0;
   ejectionVelocity = 0;
   velocityVariance = 0.0;
   ejectionOffset   = 0.0;
   thetaMin         = 0;
   thetaMax         = 180;
   phiReferenceVel  = 0;
   phiVariance      = 360;
   overrideAdvance = false;
   particles = "ShoppingGoKartParticle";
};

datablock ShapeBaseImageData(GoKartImage1)
{
   shapeFile = "base/data/shapes/empty.dts";
emap = false;

mountPoint = 3;
   rotation = "1 0 0 -90";

stateName[0] = "Ready";
stateTransitionOnTimeout[0] = "FireA";
stateTimeoutValue[0] = 0.01;

stateName[1] = "FireA";
stateEmitter[1] = contrailEmitter;
stateEmitterTime[1] = 10000;

};
datablock ShapeBaseImageData(GoKartImage2)
{
    shapeFile = "base/data/shapes/empty.dts";
emap = false;

mountPoint = 4;
    rotation = "1 0 0 -90";

stateName[0] = "Ready";
stateTransitionOnTimeout[0] = "FireA";
stateTimeoutValue[0] = 0.01;

stateName[1] = "FireA";
stateEmitter[1] = contrailEmitter;
stateEmitterTime[1] = 10000;

};
It's in a separate script, but I have it so it's executed. What am I doing wrong?
Don't worry, it's not really a go kart. I just needed to hide the real name.

This is probably to do with the scripts and the emitters not mounting, please post the scripts.

[Azerath]

The other scripts are just the basic jeep script with some changed values. I plan to do more to it, but I don't see how I need them to mount the emitter.

[Space Guy]

Look at the Stunt Plane.

[Azerath]

I did. That's where I go the script from, but I didn't need it to appear at a certain speed, I need it going all the time.

[Space Guy]

Which bit of your script attaches GoKartImage1 and GoKartImage2 to your vehicle?

[Azerath]

Code: [Select]

   shapeFile = "base/data/shapes/empty.dts";
emap = false;

mountPoint = 3;
   rotation = "1 0 0 -90";?
I really don't know. I'm just guessing.

function ContrailImage2::onDone(%this,%obj,%slot)
{
   %obj.unMountImage(%slot);
}

function contrailCheck(%obj)
{
//   return;
   if(!isObject(%obj))
      return;

   %speed = vectorLen(%obj.getVelocity());
   if(%speed < %obj.dataBlock.minContrailSpeed)
   {
      if(%obj.getMountedImage(3) !$= "")
      {
         %obj.unMountImage(2);
         %obj.unMountImage(3);
      }
   }
   else
   {
      if(%obj.getMountedImage(3) $= 0)
      {
         %obj.mountImage(contrailImage1,2);
         %obj.mountImage(contrailImage2,3);
      }
   }

   if(%speed < 5)
   {
      if(%obj.prop !$= "slow")
      {
         %obj.playThread(0,propslow);
         %obj.prop = "slow";
      }
   }
   else
   {
      if(%obj.prop !$= "fast")
      {
         %obj.playThread(0,propfast);
         %obj.prop = "fast";
      }
   }

   schedule(2000,0,"contrailCheck",%obj);
}

That's the stunt plane version of what he means. Do you have that in yours?

[Azerath]

I only need the part where it mounts it. I don't need it to unmount it.
Got it working.

I only need the part where it mounts it. I don't need it to unmount it.

%obj.mountImage(imageName, slot);
