Description

Script interface for a Particle.

Properties

angularVelocity	The angular velocity of the particle.
angularVelocity3D	The 3D angular velocity of the particle.
animatedVelocity	The animated velocity of the particle.
axisOfRotation	Mesh particles rotate around this axis.
position	The position of the particle.
randomSeed	The random seed of the particle.
remainingLifetime	The remaining lifetime of the particle.
rotation	The rotation of the particle.
rotation3D	The 3D rotation of the particle.
startColor	The initial color of the particle. The current color of the particle is calculated procedurally based on this value and the active color modules.
startLifetime	The starting lifetime of the particle.
startSize	The initial size of the particle. The current size of the particle is calculated procedurally based on this value and the active size modules.
startSize3D	The initial 3D size of the particle. The current size of the particle is calculated procedurally based on this value and the active size modules.
totalVelocity	The total velocity of the particle.
velocity	The velocity of the particle, measured in units per second.

Public Methods

GetCurrentColor	Calculate the current color of the particle by applying the relevant curves to its startColor property.
GetCurrentSize	Calculate the current size of the particle by applying the relevant curves to its startSize property.
GetCurrentSize3D	Calculate the current 3D size of the particle by applying the relevant curves to its startSize3D property.
GetMeshIndex	Calculate the Mesh index of the particle, used for choosing which Mesh a particle is rendered with.
SetMeshIndex	Sets the Mesh index of the particle, used for choosing which Mesh a particle is rendered with.
