When attached to a mob the particles on the clients screen only move when the mob it is attached to moves.
Numbered Steps to Reproduce Problem:
Press CreateSnow() the snow only falls when the mob moves.
Code Snippet (if applicable) to Reproduce Problem:
particles/snow
width = 500 // 500 x 500 image to cover a moderately sized map
height = 500
count = 2500 // 2500 particles
spawning = 10 // 3 new particles per client tick
bound1 = list(-1000, -300, -1000) // end particles at Y=-300
lifespan = 600 // last 600 client ticks max
fade = 50 // fade out over the last 50 ticks if still on screen
// spawn within a certain x,y,z space
// control how the snow falls
gravity = list(0, -3.2)
friction = 0.2 // shed 20% of velocity and drift every client tick
obj/snow
screen_loc = "CENTER"
New()
..()
particles = new/particles/snow
particles.position = generator("box", list(-300,250,0), list(300,300,100))
particles.drift = generator("sphere", 0, 2)
mob
verb/CreateSnow()
client?.screen += new/obj/snow
Expected Results:
The particles move once they are attached to the mob.
Actual Results:
The particles only move when the mob moves, when the mob stops the particles stop and resume when the mob moves again.
