CCParticleSystemQuad drop frame even when stopped

cocos2d-x C++
#1

Hi guys,

I design a particle in Particle Designer.
When I add the particle to my game, the framerate drops down to 47fps\ .\
Even\ if\ I\ call\ stopSystem\ and\ the\ particle\ disappeared\ completely\ on\ the\ screen,\ framerate\ still\ remains\ at47fps.

Please help. Thank you :slight_smile:

Try to use removeChild on the particle or the setAutoRemoveOnFinish(true) method.
Put the code that you use, it’ll be easier to help you.

Thanks, Fabio Cunha,

I don’t want to remove the particle system, just one attempt to stop it to find out why it causes the game to drop frame.

Here’s my code, I think it’s kinda normal stuff

CCParticleSystemQuad *system = CCParticleSystemQuad::create("weapons/weapon-go-through-particle.plist");
system->setPositionType(kCCPositionTypeFree);
pParentNode->addChild(system);
// system->stopSystem();

Before creating particle:

After creeating particle (call stopSystem() makes no different)

I don’t know exactly how stopSystem() works, but if you don’t want to remove the particle. I think the process will still consuming resources.

Remove the particle and add it again is an option?
If not, unfortunately, I don’t know a way to help you.

ps: How you create this processament graphics?
