Xcode 5 SpriteKit particle emitter not appearing in editor

Question

Potentially really simple question, but...

has any one else found when selecting the .sks file in this case sparkle the effect doesn't appear in the editor. Is there something obvious I'm missing?

Answer 1

This is an old post, but I had the same problem lately.

I worked around it by moving to the 'version editor' and then back to the 'standard editor' using the editor selector on the upper right corner of the main toolbar.

This would restart the particle emitter simulation.

Answer 2

Ok - I think I figured this one out as a XCode interface quirk. There is a hidden "show" / "hide" toggle that only appears on mouse-over (see the images below).

The initial view

When you mouse-over the "emitter node" line you see the "show" option

Now everything looks normal
