Flame Errors (EMITTERS)

[mindfulhacker]

Hi,

I've been working on a fire addon for fun, but whenever I spawn it it is a ERROR. Apart from the ERROR, it is fine.

Here is the code relating to the EMITTER with is this 'ERROR'

local GLOBAL_EMITTER = ParticleEmitter( Pos )
p = GLOBAL_EMITTER:Add( "effects/flame",Pos);
p:SetVelocity(Vector(math.random(-30,30),math.random(-30,30), math.random(0, 70)))
p:SetDieTime(math.Rand(2, 3))
p:SetStartAlpha(230)
p:SetEndAlpha(0)
p:SetStartSize(math.random(70, 80))
p:SetEndSize(10)
p:SetRoll( math.Rand( 0,10  ) )
p:SetRollDelta(math.Rand( -0.2, 0.2 ))

The flame file is located "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\GarrysMod\garrysmod\addons\mindfulhacker\materials\effects\flame.vtf"
There is also a vmt file in the same dir as the VTF with the following:

"UnlitGeneric"
{
	"$basetexture" "effects/flame"
	"$vertexcolor" 1
	"$vertexalpha" 1
}

Any ideas?

How are you creating the effect...Please don't with ents.Create

[koshaboy]

Maybe it needs a Model???? Or go join a PERP server download the fire model and join back and spawn yours see if it works?

[QUOTE=gonzalolog;45659855]How are you creating the effect...Please don't with ents.Create[/QUOTE]

		local effect = EffectData();
		effect:SetOrigin(self:GetPos());
		util.Effect("fire_ent", effect);

That is being triggered Clientside from a entity

can you try to rename the effect name? Anyway, it's a weird behavior this

Sorry it took so long, didnt realise you had posted.

Same thing occurs. Flashing Red ERROR and a error message "Failed to initialize effect" spammed.
