Help Multiple Particle Attachment ?

[josemendez]

Hi Vincent,

Attaching the same particle group to multiple transforms doesn't make any sense. Just like it doesn't make sense to have a transform with multiple parents (in fact, this isn't possible in any transform hierarchy implementation that I know of). What's your use case for this?

The manual specifies that in case of multiple attachments for the same particle, the result is undefined:

Particles affected by more than one attachment will follow the attachment that was updated last. The update order for attachment is undefined.

Particle groups are stored in a plain generic List<>. So you can access by index just like you would any other list:

Code:

var particleGroup = rope.blueprint.groups[index];

If you want to access them by name, you have to perform a linear search:

Code:

public ObiParticleGroup GetGroupByName(string name)
    {
        foreach (var group in rope.blueprint.groups)
            if (group.name == name)
                return group;
        return null;
    }
