Hi

I am currently having a very strange problem

I am working with particles and I want to create a particle trail.

When I use Position Particles, I can see my Particles move nicely along the route I want them to.
How ever if I use Position Particle Emissions, suddenly it doesn't work anymore. I tried checking the position with Postition Particle X, and it seems like the position of the particle doesn't change anymore.
The silly thing about it is that I already wrote a program and it work fine with that one...

I am posting my code in case you want to try it.

Ah yes you might want to take a look at the _checkparticles subroutine... that's where it happens. I replaced only one Position PArticles by Position Particle Emissions for demonstration. You will see only 3 particles instead of 4

it's odd
with the first patch of dbp, or the second, it worked fine

I now found out that the coordinates of a particle effect will work differently wether you use Position Particles or Position Particle Emissions. In order to have the correct coordinates with Position Particle Emissions you have to divide your coordinates by the radius of the particle effect. Why I don't know, but I did that and now it works.
