The editor is laggy/running slow while the Magical Box editor window is open
The editor window sometimes renders a lot of gui controls, so depending on your machine's speed things may become laggy, especially when viewing the particle system's statistics page that redraws every frame by default. However, here are a few guidelines to boost editor performance:
- Lower update frequency in the Magical Box window's toolbar by setting a value >0. A value of 1 will update the statistics window once a second only
- enable Autofolding for parameters
- on really slow machines you may want to temporarely close the editor window and use the inspector instead.
This is due the particle mesh is updating constantly when using a "non-exclusive" material or the texture atlas is built on the fly. To prevent this behaviour, create a dedicated material for your particle system and check "Persistent Atlas".
^ TOP After importing the Magical Box editor's icons are missing
Please ensure that you've imported Magical Box into your project's root folder!
