part_type_exists(ind);
| Argument | Description |
|---|---|
| ind | The index of the particle type to check for. |
Returns: Boolean
With this function you can check to see if the given particle
type indexed exists in the game or not. Note that if the variable
being checked is an uninitialised variable (that a particle type
would otherwise have its index assigned to) this will throw an
error.
if !part_type_exists(global.p1)
{
global.p1 = part_type_create();
}
The above code checks to see if the global variable "p1" stores the index of a particle type and if it does not it creates one.
