clear Particles
Stop the particle effect currently displaying at a sprite.
Particle effects, when started, are set for a sprite. You can stop the effect early, if a duration was set, or stop it from displaying continuously if no duration was set.
Parameters
- anchor: the sprite that the effect is displaying at.
Example
Spray the confetti
Start a confetti effect on the blob sprite for 5 seconds but then stop it after just 2 seconds.
Campfire
Show a fire effect coming from a sprite image of firewood. When button A is pressed, the campfire goes out and the blizzard with the bubble effect simulates the fire smoldering.
Immediately clear all particles
The clear particles block gets rid of the sources, but if you want to immediately get rid of all particles on the screen you need to also call particles.clearAll(), which is currently only available in text coding.
let logs: Sprite = null
controller.A.onEvent(ControllerButtonEvent.Pressed, function () {
effects.clearParticles(logs)
logs.startEffect(effects.blizzard, 750)
logs.startEffect(effects.bubbles, 2000)
})
controller.B.onEvent(ControllerButtonEvent.Pressed, function () {
effects.clearParticles(logs)
particles.clearAll()
})
logs = sprites.create(img`
