hi, i'm learning to use particle candy.

i have a error, when i restart a race many time in my game...

i very new with particle candy, so, i don't know what is this error.

error msg :
"too many particles typs used. set 'pt_particle_types' to a higher value!"

what can i do?


Function clean_particles()
	
	clean_particles()
	
	
	For race.race = Each race
		Delete race
	Next
	
	For car.car = Each car
		
		StopChannel car\ch_motor
		StopChannel car\ch_patina
		
		FreeEmitter car\smoke
		FreeEmitter car\fuego
		
		freeshadowcaster car\entidad
		
		FreeEntity car\entidad
		
		Delete car
		
	Next
	
End Function

You will find 'pt_particle_types' in line 5 of particle candy.bb. Just set it to the amount of particle types you need. I think it has nothing to do with the code you have posted. You are deleting two emitters here.

I suggest, you have a look at the online documentation:

thank lo-tekk

for some reason, only happen when i restart many times a race.

everytime i start a race, i create all entitys and emitters.

when i finish a race, i delete all entitys and emiters, and types.

maybe i missing something to clear data, emiters, in this procces, i don't know.

i see the manual online, but i can't find the answer...

thanks anyway
