Emitter lives after sprite is killed

[Kristoffer Darj]

I'm basically trying to make this gamemechanicexplorer example into a game. http://gamemechanicexplorer.com/#homingmissiles-4

 

When a missile collide with another sprite (my hero), both the missile and hero is killed but a smoke emitter attached to the missile still keeps emitting smoke.

 

On the other hand, when a missile hits a solid obstacle on thte screen, the missile is also killed in the same fashion and then the emitter stops.

 

Any thought?

It seems you're missing the bit which turns the emitter off when the missile is dead:

    // If this missile is dead, don't do any of these calculations    // Also, turn off the smoke emitter    if (!this.alive) {        this.smokeEmitter.on = false;        return;    } else {        this.smokeEmitter.on = true;    }

This should go right at the top of the missile's update function, to prevent any other logic being run for dead missiles.

Alright. Thanks
