  • Making an emitter appear faster…No luck so far!

    Posted by Steve Frost on May 3, 2013 at 11:58 pm

    Hi again.

    I know this may sound like a total noob question………But……

    I am using the Fairy Butterfly emitter (I changed it a little to remove the butterflys) and I have run in to a problem.

    I need the emitter to appear as soon as the first frame is on. At the mo the emitter appears after 20 frames.

    What can I change to get it to appear as soon as its put on the screen?

    Thanks.

    Steve

    Open the emitter properties dialog for the emitter on the stage, then increase the “preload frames”
