Hi guys in the old day you could a fx in log 1 like this:
Code: Select all
spawn("fx", party.level, party.x, party.y, party.facing, "red1")
red1:translate(0, 1.5, 0)
red1:setParticleSystem("fade_red_fast_2")
What I would like to know is how you do it for log 2? Thxs

The FX thing was a terrible hack in LoG1. In LoG2 you build your objects from components.
But if you just need a particle system, an easy way would be to spawn a particle_system object and change the particle system it's using.
Something like this should work (haven't tested):
Code: Select all
local obj = spawn("particle_system", <insert coords here>)
obj.particle:setParticleSystem("fade_red_fast_2")

Works great, but is there any way to avoid the annoying 'Warning! no such particle system: xxx' console message?

spawn("particle_system",<coords>).particle:setParticleSystem("torch")
