[SOLVED] Particle System

In my game I want to create a particle system that creates snow particles randomly at the top of the scene and gently pushes them to the ground for my snowball fight game. I want it to snow constantly. Please help.

Check out my demo on StencylForge under games.  Its called "Mee - Rain"  Download it and check out the scene behavior.  If you need help modifying it, lemme know.

Hey Dude! It works! but the snow keeps running into the tiles at the top of the scene so it doesn't fall. It just builds up at the top.

You have to open your snow actor, click on physics, click on the Advanced tab and set Disable Physics to Yes.

I turned off all physics but they still didn't move. I added a "Push [last created actor] [gently] towards (xDir:[0] yDir:[1] at force [5]" block and it worked! But the game dropped from 60fps to 4 fps. How do i fix this? I tried recycling the particles but it only increased fps to 12. I changed the code to where when particles leave screen "kill last created actor". Fps is still averaging at 12 fps.

Post on Forge and I'll see what your doing wrong and help you out however I can.

Its in forge under behaviors. just called "Snow".

Okay, first off NEVER use two always in the SAME behavior.  Adds unnecessary lag.  2nd, your kill code should be a separate behavior attached to the snow actor.  A more efficient version is:
Always:
  if (Y of self) > (Scene Height)
     kill self

EDIT: Also, using set y-speed to 1 might be better than slide.

Its just building up at the top now and not killing the snow when leaves screen.

Check StencylForge for Mees - Snow.  Set your behaviors up just like those.

EDIT: SWEET DUDE! I GOT IT TO WORK!!!! Thanks a lot man!!!! The only problem that still remains is that it's still dropping my fps from 60 to 12.

Its important to keep the y speed at about 30, otherwise you will have that lag.  Another way is to use the "Do every x seconds" code instead of the always to create actors, but that's a little less realistic in my opinion.

hi there , is the snow particle demo game still up . i couldnt find it in stencylforge . thanks
