Help with delta time and particle systems

[gnonme]

I'm trying to make my game run the same on any frame rate and for the most part it's working. However, I just can't seem to get delta time to work with my custom particle systems. An example of this is a spaceships smoke. I have taken screenshots of this at 30, 60, and 120 fps.[imgur.com]

I tried looking at this[forum.yoyogames.com] and this but I couldn't get anything to work.

I want it to always look how it does at 60 fps.

Please help me.

GameMaker's default particle system won't work using delta time because it's configured to use frame per second game speed. I'm going to do a tutorial on this on my YouTube channel pretty soon. https://www.youtube.com/warrenaterz In the mean time though, what you will have to do is create an array containing all of the different X and Y particle locations in a parent particle object, then iterate through the array size using a for loop in the draw event to draw all of the sprites in one step.

Alright I'll wait for the video. One question though: your more recent tuts are for GMS 2, will they still work in 1.4?
