Hello, my first attempt to create an emitter didn't work at all, here is my code: // PARTICLES SYSTEM var particles:Particles = new ...

my first attempt to create an emitter didn't work at all,

here is my code:

// PARTICLES SYSTEM
var particles:Particles = new Particles();
this._scene.addChild( particles );

var emitter:Emitter3D = new Whizzer( new LineZone( new Vector3D( -200, 0, 0 ), new Vector3D( 200, 0, 0) ) );
_flintRenderer = new PV3DParticleRenderer(particles);
_flintRenderer.addEmitter(emitter);
//emitter.addEventListener( ParticleEvent.PARTICLE_DEAD, whizzBang, false, 0, true );
//emitter.start();

And after running this I get the following error:

TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert org.flintparticles.common.displayObjects::Dot@1fe165f1 to org.papervision3d.core.geom.renderables.Particle.

Any ideas, did I forget something obvious?

Thanks in advance.]]> http://flintparticles.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=121&Focus=492#Comment_492 2008-11-12T17:37:21+00:00 2010-12-25T19:40:58+00:00 psilos http://flintparticles.org/forum/account.php?u=97

ok, after modifying Whizzer Class it seems to compile without errors, changed addInitializer( new SharedImage( new Dot( 4 ) ) ); to addInitializer( new PV3DObjectClass ( Particle, new ...

changed

addInitializer( new SharedImage( new Dot( 4 ) ) );

to

addInitializer( new PV3DObjectClass ( Particle, new ParticleMaterial(0xFFFFFFFF, 0xFFFFFFFF, 1), 5, 5));

the same should be done on SphereBang as well.

Cheers]]>
