GameSalad Viewer and Particles not showing up

Hi,

I'm new to GameSalad. I have a project setup and working in both the GameSalad preview and also I have my iPad setup with the 'Viewer'. The scene contains a truck body and two wheels which is based on the "Wheels Join-ed" project found in the forums. I added 'exhaust' by creating particles and these show up nicely in the GameSalad preview. However, they don't show up at all in the GameSalad Viewer on my iPad. I have added other objects to the project and they do show up in the viewer so I know it is running the correct (newer) version of the project. Any ideas on why particles would not show up in the Viewer?

Also, the iPad is a 3rd generation with Retina display and is running iOS 6 display if that matters. Xcode is version 4.6.3 and I don't see any errors in the Xcode output window nor in the GameSalad debugger window.

Thanks,

Steve

    I figured out why the particles were not showing up on the iPad in the Viewer. I put the generation of the particles in a 'keyboard event' mapped to the Right and Left keys. The iPad doesn't have these (keys) and movement by touch is handled in a different place... so the code to generate the particles was never called. D'oh!

    Glad you solved your prob, @KingChaos... it had me scratching my head trying to figure out what could be causing it.... :-)
