So sometimes, the particles that are given off by my projectiles are just left in the air (just parts of it) and just seem to float there indefinitely.

 

 

My particle spawn code:

 

 

@Override

public void onUpdate()

  {

      super.onUpdate();

        if (!this.worldObj.isRemote) {

      for (int var3 = 0; var3 < 8; ++var3)

        {

            Sprinkles var1 = new Sprinkles(this.worldObj, this.posX, this.posY-1, this.posZ, 0.0D, 0.0D, 0.0D, 5);

            FMLClientHandler.instance().getClient().effectRenderer.addEffect(var1);

        }

    }

}

     

 

 

 

 

And the actual particle code:

 

 

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)

public class Sprinkles extends EntityFX

{

    public float portalParticleScale;

    public int last;

 

    public Sprinkles (World par1World, double par2, double par4, double par6, double par8, double par10, double par12, int age)

    {

        super(par1World, par2, par4, par6, par8, par10, par12);

        this.last = age;

        this.motionX = par8 + (float)(Math.random() * 2.0D - 1.0D) * 0.05F;

        this.motionY = par10 + (float)(Math.random() * 2.0D - 1.0D) * 0.05F;

        this.motionZ = par12 + (float)(Math.random() * 2.0D - 1.0D) * 0.05F;

        float var14 = this.rand.nextFloat() * 0.6F + 0.4F;

        this.portalParticleScale = this.particleScale = this.rand.nextFloat() * 0.2F + 0.5F;

        this.particleRed = this.particleGreen = this.particleBlue = 1.0F * var14;

        this.particleGreen *= 0.3F;

        this.particleRed *= 0.9F;

        this.particleScale = this.rand.nextFloat() * this.rand.nextFloat() * 6.0F + 1.0F;

        this.particleMaxAge = (int)(16.0D / (this.rand.nextFloat() * 0.8D + 0.2D)) + 2;

    }

 

    /**

    * Called to update the entity's position/logic.

    */

    @Override

    public void onUpdate()

    {

        this.prevPosX = this.posX;

        this.prevPosY = this.posY;

        this.prevPosZ = this.posZ;

 

        if (this.particleAge++ >= this.particleMaxAge)

        {

            this.setDead();

        }

 

        this.setParticleTextureIndex(7 - this.particleAge * last / this.particleMaxAge);

        this.motionY += 0.004D;

        this.motionX *= 0.8999999761581421D;

        this.motionY *= 0.8999999761581421D;

        this.motionZ *= 0.8999999761581421D;

 

        if (this.onGround)

        {

            this.motionX *= 0.699999988079071D;

            this.motionZ *= 0.699999988079071D;

        }

    }

}

 

 

 

Hi

 

Do you know how to use the debugger?

 

If so, I'd suggest you keep trying until you get immortal particles, then put a breakpoint in Sprinkles.onUpdate and/or EffectRenderer.renderParticles.

 

That should hopefully give you a clue.
