Particle Editor - selecting particles

Postby epsilonion » 19 Mar 2015, 10:43

HI again,

I have been playing with the particle presets and I have dragged some into my scene but if I want to edit a particle in the particle editor it only shows the latest one dropped into the scene, when I select another particle to edit from the scene entity list it does not change the particle to edit in the particle editor.

Can you advice me of how to change particles to edit in the particle editor please.

Skyline has a slightly buggy particle system when its comes to creating/editing.

Our best experience is:
> load a fresh skyline and the default scene.
> Add the particle effect into the scene
> Begin editing
> Save particle
> Close skyline and reload
> Open level, add particle to the scene.

Or at least, the moment you have edited the first particle. Save your level and reload skyline, otherwise some strange effects can happen. ;)

Hope this helps get around this for now. The particle editor is due a rewrite to bring it up to the standards with the rest of skyline. It is planned, but there are many jobs still to do.
