Hi! I have a flare blueprint that has a particle system element. The problem is that in the level editor and when I play the game, only one of the three emitters contained in the particle system shows up. The particle system is the P_Sparks particle system that’s part of the starter content, which I then edited to suit my needs. The weird thing is that it works great in the blueprint editor and in Cascade, but not in the level itself. There’s a smoke emitter and a spark emitter that should be showing along with the spark burst emitter that can be seen in the example below, but they seem to be MIA. The Blueprint editor window shows how it should look.
I think it is because smoke and sparks are GPU sprites which don’t render when the camera is not facing them. you have scaled quite big which could also be causing it or try duplicating the effect and delete the GPU sprite modules from “smoke” and “sparks” it should give you better success
OK, I’ll try that and report back. But you should also probably know that when I place the particle system on it’s own in the level, it works just fine. It’s only when it’s part of a blueprint that this problem occurs. It’s got me quite baffled.
Give that a go and if no good, if you could give me a list or screen shots of what you have changed in particle and blueprint and i can try and have a look for you.
Luckily that won’t be needed as this seems to have fixed it. Thanks for the help! Look how pretty it is! I will play around with the settings and stuff some more to get it looking just right.
I was left with some scaling issues though, but that was easily fixed. The only problem now is that the smoke vanishes when the camera is turned away from the flare mesh, and then suddenly reappears when the camera moves back. Kind of like GPU sprites, but I deleted that part… So I’m once again a little baffled.
