particles

I use below code to create my particles ( in fact, I don't know any other way.)

spawnedParticleComponents = WorldInfo.MyEmitterPool.SpawnEmitter(ParticleSystem'ParticleName', Location, Rotator );
spawnedParticleComponents.setTranslation(newLocation);
...

And unfortunately, I spawn many particles in game.

When I play my game, after some time, I see Exceeded max active pooled emitters! Warning in console .

To solve the problem, first, I tried spawnedParticleComponents.DeactivateSystem();, But it doesn't help. Then I try WorldInfo.MyEmitterPool.ClearPoolComponents(false);, But it doesn't either . :(

How can I destroy many spawned particles and avoid this warning ?

How to render 2D particles as fluid?

Suppose you have a nice way to move your 2D particles in order to simulate a fluid (like water). Any ideas on how to render it? This is for a 2D game, where the perspective is from the side, like this. The water will be contained in boxes that can be broken in order to let it fall down and interact… >>> More
Drawing particles as a smooth blob

I'm new to game/graphics development and I'm playing around with particles (in 2D). I want to draw particles close to each other as a blob, just as liquid/water. I do not want to draw big circles overlapping as the blob won't be smooth (and too big). I don't really know physics but I assume what I… >>> More
