Smoke system

prismtrooper · Vehicle Drone **Joined**: 05 Nov 2013

I use damage smoke system base on Beowulf mod for unit and building but for some reason when load a save game the damage smoke system do not working (is still working when play on new game). Is there any reason for this and how to fix it?

If you made a save before a change it is incompatible with the changed version.

Are the new Particle and System added to the respective lists?
Do other smoke systems work after loading a save game?
Is anything special on your code? (can you show it?)

How is the smoke not working? On already damaged units or also on newly damaged units after loading the save game?
IIRC A damaged unit/building is by default not smoking anymore after loading a save game (i.e. all PS are reset).

Limitation of the engine. As LKO said, when a save is restored, particle system data is not loaded. The saves don't retain that information so you won't be able to actually fix this problem. Long as they work after a save loads, you should be fine.
