Hello,
i'm using 'zParticles' for my game. I'm allways trying to get the best perfomance. So, i'm loading / creating the particles at the start of the game, and then hiding them. (zp enable emitter num, 0)
And, if i need them, i show them with zp enable emitter num, 1.

But the Frame are dropping to around ~30/40 if there are around 5 particle effects at the same moment.
I tried some different particle stuff. Like, burst costs ALOT of perfomance. More Force, more performance.

So, anyhave have some tipps to make good and fast particle effects?

the only thing i can suggest is to make your particles sync, 1 at each frame..
what i mean?

if you have function that runs all the particles, try to run 1 particle for each frame:



this is one of the ways how you can save lots of fps rate..
try this way not only on the particles, but on other stuff like updating objects positions or whatever..
