libgdx particle effects

Newbie & Debugging Questions

So I’ve been trying different parts of libgdx lately, and I thought I’d do particle effects today. So I downloaded the particle effect editor, made a random effect, added a random image, and I’ve been trying to display it but it’s not showing up.


particleEffect = new ParticleEffect();
particleEffect.load(Gdx.files.internal("Particle Effects/particleffect.p"), Gdx.files.internal("Particle Effects"));
emitters = new Array<ParticleEmitter>(particleEffect.getEmitters());

so an array of emitters and a particleEffect.


for(int i = 0; i < emitters.size; i++){
				particleEffect.getEmitters().add(emitters.get(i)); 
				emitters.get(i).start();
				}
		batch.begin();
		particleEffect.start();
		particleEffect.setPosition(100, 100);
		particleEffect.draw(batch, Gdx.graphics.getDeltaTime());
		batch.draw(player.currentFrame, player.x, player.y);
		batch.end();

So I’m trying to set the draw it at 100, 100.

Any ideas?

figured it out but accidentally pressed “switch to article” button

on a related thought though, how come some of the fields in the particle effect creator can’t be edited?

Which fields do you mean?
