How to scale a particle system?

Post by liyonglove2d »

Snap of the game:

The campfire is simulated by a particle system, and I want the flame size to decrease over time. But I don't know how to scale the particle system.
I know how to achieve this by canvas. But I'm wondering whether there's a direct way.

THANKS~ :)

You can scale it down with :setSizes() and :setSpeed()

Code: Select all

print( type(love) )
if false then
  baby:hurt(me)
end
