ParticleSystem (NPE) AlignAngle block lags 1 frame behind

Hi everyone,

Please see here: Babylon.js Node Particle Editor

If you eyeball the center of the prview screen, you will notice that particles spawn with, I guess, the default rotation, and only after 1 frame or so they will take the aligned angle.

I have tried “delay start” in the ParticleSystem block, but this didnt work (hoping the angle would catch up ‘off-screen’). I have also tried to switch around the AlignAngle block. No luck :slightly_frowning_face:

Best wishes
Joe

This is correct. The system spawns on frame 1 and start updating on frame 2. You can fix it that way:

Babylon.js Node Particle Editor

In a nutshell we create the particle as an invisible entity and we let the update loop flag it as visible
