SPE.valueOverLifetimeLength = 3 doesn't work

[Joshy-dev]

According to the documentation, SPE.valueOverLifetimeLength should be >=3 or <=4, but setting it to 3 doesn't seem to work (i.e. no particles are emitted).

Also is it possible for values greater than 4 to work? I tried it for kicks, and it is (expectedly) buggy.

Could you share your group and emitter settings, and the OS and browser version you're seeing the issue on?

[Joshy-dev]

Simple group with everything default except texture, and then emitter with particle count 10, and a position value and size value (no arrays). Everything works when SPE.valueOverLifetimeLength = 4, but nothing happens when SPE.valueOverLifetimeLength = 3. This is on Chrome 46 in Windows 7 using r72 three.js

Could you paste the code here or in a gist?

You'll have to put a texture in loadTexture. valueOverLifetimeLength is set to 3 in that example.

Brilliant, thanks. I'll have a look tonight and see what's going on.

Hm, I've created the following test (based on your rotation gist), and set the valueOverLifetime to 3, but it works fine for me (OSX, Chrome latest): https://gist.github.com/squarefeet/608c0cd9ff02a60a1c2e

I'll try it on Win7 and see if that's the issue...

[Joshy-dev]

I copied your code on my machine and still running into the same issue where setting valueOverLifetimeLength to 3 doesn't work, but 4 does... strange bug. I will try on OSX if I get the chance.

Any errors in the console?

[Joshy-dev]

Nope no console errors.
