Ok I have a registered Entity which is spawning a Particle (EntityFX) like this

FMLClientHandler.instance().getClient().getMinecraft().effectRenderer.addEffect(new EntitySpecialSmokeFX(this.worldObj, this.posX, this.posY, this.posZ, this.rand.nextGaussian() * 0.1D, this.motionY * (this.rand.nextGaussian() * 0.075D), this.rand.nextGaussian() * 0.1D));

That works fine but when I spawn the particles again (from another Entity) the particles that exist already despawn or becoming invisible(I dont know what exactly happen) but they are not visible any more.

 

What can I do to fix that? (If you need code tell me which files you need)

 

Thanks for answering!

That is strange, I'm using virtually same code (isn't the

getMinecraft()

redundant?) and it spawns particles normally.

 

How much particles are beeing spawned exactly?

Sounds like you are hitting the particle limit, try increasing it if it is not maxed out yet.

I am spawning 50 particles in a for loop when I do this the second time this happen.

Where exactly is this limit and is it possible to expand it?

 

(Sorry but I dont know very much about the particle engine and I dindnt work with it before)

If i remember correctly, the hard limit set in EffectRenderer is 4000 EntityFX per layer.

Default EntityFX is on layer 0.

You can override

getFXLayer()

to a different value to see if that fixes it.

The problem with getFXLayer() is that it doesen work if particleTextureIndex is set.
