Particle Spawn

Cap

I have an actor that will -after self.time is greater than 5 seconds- spawn a particle. At "number of particles" I enter 1. Nontheless after some seconds a second particle appears. What can I do to create exactly one particle?

Thanks!

Adjust the particles life time to a shorter one.

You could make a self.attribute and a rule;

Self.Particle TRUE/FALSE

Rule: if self.particle is false, then TIMER after 4 seconds PARTICLE action AND Change Attribute Self.particle to false.

This will prevent the actor from shooting the particle every 5 seconds.

Thanks. I managed to spawn exactly only one particle in this special case by using "if self.time = 5 then -> Spawn Particle" instead of using "self.time > 5".
