Particle trigger wont stay on a certain value

[azure hatch]

Description: When in the editor the particle trigger will start as soon as you enter the ship but playing the level will cause it too uncheck the animate on trigger and animate active only boxxes when going back into the editor.

Attempted Fixes: Changed out group ids was all I can think of. I have no idea wtf is happening :(. (Please don't cancel my post Mr. Bot man I followed your fucking format now).

`Bugfix` FAQ

Having issues with a bug in your level? Be sure to follow these instructions.

1. Identify the issue and describe it in clear terms. FOR EXAMPLE: Instead of saying "This trigger isn't working", say "I am trying to make a Double Jump system, but the Touch trigger isn't activating when the player clicks."
2. Reproduce the issue in a separate level. Isolate it and find a way to recreate it consistently.
3. Analyze the issue by looking at the component parts in it – gameplay, triggers, etc. – and seeing which part(s) cause the bug when put together.
4. Fix the issue by removing or reworking the component parts that cause it.
5. Double-check that you've solved the bug.

If none of these options work, please let us know.

looks like some sort of save corruption?
can you replicate this in a level copy?
in a blank level?
in a level where you paste this segment in?

This has happened to me with the same settings before

I’m pretty sure you’ll have to find some sort of workaround

[azure hatch]

it's showing in another level where I use the same concept

[chilly sapphire]

seems like another gd bug then
i wouldn't know a fix.

maybe manipulate toggles and alphas to get the particles. how you want

[azure hatch]

😭

[azure hatch]

Did you ever find one?

[dawn badge]

what I meant with workaround was something along the lines of what enlightenment suggested

as far as I know there isn't a quick fix for this

[chilly sapphire]

i don't remember which is which, but toggle probably disables particle generation, whereas alpha just affects visibility.
use these to control how your particles appear

[azure hatch]

👍 k ill try that

bro now this parts tweaking too 😭 https://medal.tv/games/geometry-dash/clips/lll1xlSMit-uKn6lH?invite=cr-MSxhYzksMzg4OTkzNjA3&v=11 what happened to my rotations? If I delete and replace the trigger they're fine

[azure hatch]

yeah I used and alpha and it works ty

Bug is still happening in other levels and I can't seem to fix it. Guess I just cry now and use toggle trigger :/ Have you seen this bug apear anywhere else?

[chilly sapphire]

no, closest thing i had was a bug that caused particles that were alpha-zeroed and then had a camera shift far away to no longer respond to move triggers on the particles generated off-screen

so not anything relevant to yours
no clue how this bug occurs, might be a robtop thing like what happened for my own bug.
best option is to design around it or find a workaround/compromise
