[Help] Fire Script breaks when changing the particle

OmgItzLew · 2019-01-03T23:46:30.505Z

So, I’ve been trying to change what particle my fire script uses, however when I change it this happens: Screen capture - 2cefefa92409c029ad212c4277fbe9c9 - Gyazo

All I changed was the part in bold below

– Make both a standard fire and a big fire particle on top of it
local fxHandle = StartParticleFxLoopedAtCoord(“ent_ray_ch2_farm_fire_dble”, posX, posY, posZ + 0.25, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, scale + 0.001, false, false, false, false);
local fireHandle = StartScriptFire(posX, posY, posZ + 0.25, 0, false);
Fire.flames[fire.flames + 1] = {fire = fireHandle, ptfx = fxHandle, pos = {x = posX, y = posY, z = posZ + 0.05}};
end

Would anyone be able to help?

What fire script?

Also update your AOP script, I added config to move the text above the PLD with a change of a number.

OmgItzLew · 2019-01-04T05:25:47.695Z

I removed the AOP script and the Fire script was on the forums but taken down I believe, would you like me to send you the client.lua and server.lua?

OmgItzLew · 2019-01-04T08:25:41.011Z

I tried nearly every fire particle I could find here: https://www.vespura.com/particle-list/

ent_ray_ch2_farm_fire_dble
ent_ray_ch2_farm_fire_l_l_l
ent_ray_ch2_farm_fire_u_l
ent_ray_ch2_farm_resi_dble
ent_ray_ch2_farm_smoke_dble

I included the rest because I didn’t know if the _farm_fire had anything to do with it.
Only the two in bold work, both of them "_farm_fire "
