I also add the firework_pink.plist to the file, and check the preview and Play On Load to true. But nothing happend in the editor, i also started the game but nothing happend, i see the Particle System Api, but i didn’t found any function to play it when i want. like BANG, shoot in a gun or something. I found a lot of methods to stop, restart, etc.

Working in 2.1 right now.

Any help will be really apreciated.

try with


if that works means that Particle Design its not compatible

@Andres_IC really thank you for your reply. I think this is not possible. Cocos and particle design is 100% compatible for sure, when you export in particle design, you can mark for cocos explicitly.

With what function can i play the particles?

#4

by code is resetsystem() resetSystem ()

#5

So, to play it first time you need to do a reset? It’s a little bit extrange hahahaha, really thank you!

#6

wait. the particles should begin with playonload as you have it.

you asked how to initialize by code.
did you try with an empty scene?
maybe the particles are behind something

#7

It’s awesome to have people that tries to help! Really thank you!

It’s really extrange. If i put my particles, nothing happens, but if i put the particles of the link that you provided it works. But if i put your particles and the i change the file to my particles it works with the preview and play on load, but in the gameplay nothing happens, tomorrow i can add some video that reflect that, i don’t know if i found a bug.

#8

Yeah, i tryed without background and all, only particles, nothing shoots.

#9

Sorry i never used Particle Designer.
once with Particle2dx my particles didn’t work because it did not embedded the textures

#10

Can you provide your particle resources?

Oh, seems like my artist has made a boo boo.
The texture have to be inside the .plist or in a separated file?

in a separated file and import both of them into the editor
