Spawn Emitter at Location does not auto destroy

Emitter 를 스폰한 다음 Auto Destroy 옵션이 먹지 않는 경우는 이펙트가 무한 loop 를 돌게 될때임

Cascade(이펙트 툴) 에서 Duration 을 0 이 아닌 다른 값으로 주면 그 횟수 만큼 돌고 끝남

0 이면 무한 loop

[Bug] Spawn Emitter at Location does not auto destroy

2

So, been creating a projectile today and I wanted to spawn an emitter at the point where the projectile hit. Well, I used spawn emitter at location, and it did spawn an emitter, but even though I checked the little auto destroy box, the emitters never go away. The emitters should only last for about 3 seconds before they go through a full cycle/lifetime. Am I doing something wrong or is this really a bug?

(Emitter loops set to 0) If so, I don't believe the emitter ever "ends", meaning it wont know when to destroy itself.

It may be to do with the setup of your particle system - if a particle system never completes (i.e it is looping), the emitter is never finished and therefore never destroyed. What does your particle setup look like? more ▼ answered May 28 '14 at 11:47 AM ambershee ♦  478 ● 13 ● 21 ● 37  Knobbynobbes May 28 '14 at 6:18 PM 1 Yup, it seems that my emitters were all set to loop = 0. setting that at 1 fixed it. thx all!  evillego6 Jun 11 '14 at 8:46 AM Could you possibly tell me where you can set the loop property you're talking about? I can't find it anywhere.  ambershee ♦ Jun 11 '14 at 8:49 AM 1 It's pretty easy to find. Every emitter has it's own number of loops property in the require module.  evillego6 Jun 11 '14 at 9:22 AM Newest Thank you. You're right, I should have seen that.
