I've created a ScriptArea that i want to produce a whirl of dust. When the player completes a puzzle, they hear a roar in the distance, and a whirl of dust blows out the nearby torches. I've called the ScriptArea "WhirlArea," and here's the script I have set up:

Spoiler below!

The sound plays, and the lights go out, but there is no whirl of dust. Any reason why this might be happening?

trying putting .ps in CreateParticleSystemAtEntity, i.e

CreateParticleSystemAtEntity("", "ps_dust_whirl", "AreaWhirl", false);

You're missing the .ps there, try putting "ps_dust_whirl.ps" .

Made the change, but the particle system still won't appear.

Very odd.. I just did some testing on my map with that. It seems to appear fine for me. Here's the code:

Code:
void OnStart() {

    AddTimer("", 5.0f, "Whirl");

}    

void Whirl(string &in asTimer) {

AddDebugMessage("WHIRL", false);

CreateParticleSystemAtEntity("", "ps_dust_whirl.ps", "AreaWhirl", false);

}

Try adjusting the position of the area you are creating the particle at also.

How is it i can spend hours going over the script before posting, and then only notice what I did wrong five minutes after I post? Tongue

It happens! Tongue

Can't believe I didn't notice that either x.x
