Move particles without moving particle emitter

Question

I have question about Particles in cocos2d. How can I move particles without moving particle emitter. I want to have such move like in doodle jump(snowing map).I set position type to kCCPositionTypeGrouped and move my particles in this way:

CCAction *movePlankton = [CCMoveTo actionWithDuration:0.6f position:CGPointMake(planktonEmitter.position.x, planktonEmitter.position.y+distanceToMove)];
    [planktonEmitter runAction:movePlankton];

But this move particle emitter too, and after few moves on my screen i haven't any particles.

Can somebody help me with this? Thanks.

Answer 1

You can only move the emitter. The movement of the particles is an essential aspect of the particle effect itself.

What you can do is:

• use multiple particle emitters, each being responsible for a small aspect of the overall effect
• use sprites for controlled movement
