Help ! Using variables (SOLVED) - Darkfire - 05-21-2014
Hey ! I'm making a level in which I want at first to have lots (302!) of fog particles, and later rain particles. The second part works fine, but for some reason I can't delete these fog particles. Also, running the map doesn't end with a crash. Here's what I came up with:
void OnEnter()
{
SetLocalVarInt("FogVar", 0);
if(GetGlobalVarInt("RainVariable") > 0) ///this is a trigger, the variable is added in a different level///
{
if(GetLocalVarInt("FogVar") < 302)
{
AddLocalVarInt("FogVar", 1);
DestroyParticleSystem("ParticleSystem_" + GetLocalVarInt("FogVar"));
}
///here's stuff that makes the rain happen//
}
}

Wrong forum, moved.

Well, the function doesn't repeat because it is only called once. You enter the level, 1 particle system is removed, and then the script is finished. You need something to recall this script.
I recommend using a for-loop instead. They're quite simple, really.
PHP Code:
for(int i = 0; i < 302; ++i) {
DestroyParticleSystem("ParticleSystem_" + i);
}
This will probably have the effect you want. It repeats the destroy script 302 times, each time incrementing the number at the end of the particle name.

You need something to recall this script.Thanks, it actually worked. Just one tiny downside: the particles load for one "animation" and then they disappear. I think I can't fix that (Since particles are in the level when it starts), but it isn't so bad.

Is there some page with for-loops tutorial ? Because I can't find one D:
Ps. Huge thanks Mudbill, I actually learned most of scripting stuff from your videos.

Well, you can always google for-loops for C++
They work the same. This one might be good to read, as long as you can separate the cout << C++ syntax from Amnesia's.

I think I get this now. I also used it to shorten my script in few places. PROBLEM SOLVED !

Here's a page about For loops and all other loops available in AngelScript and C++.
