Unity Script Reference – ParticleAnimator

ParticleAnimator Inherits from Component

(Legacy Particles) Particle animators move your particles over time, you use them to apply wind, drag & color cycling to your particle emitters.

This class is a script interface for a particle animator component.

Variables

doesAnimateColor	Do particles cycle their color over their lifetime?
worldRotationAxis	World space axis the particles rotate around.
localRotationAxis	Local space axis the particles rotate around.
sizeGrow	How the particle sizes grow over their lifetime.
rndForce	A random force added to particles every frame.
force	The force being applied to particles every frame.
damping	How much particles are slowed down every frame.
autodestruct	Does the GameObject of this particle animator auto destructs?
colorAnimation	Colors the particles will cycle through over their lifetime.

particleSystem	The ParticleSystem attached to this GameObject (null if there is none attached).
gameObject	The game object this component is attached to. A component is always attached to a game object.
tag	The tag of this game object.
name	The name of the object.
hideFlags	Should the object be hidden, saved with the scene or modifiable by the user?

Inherited Functions

GetComponent	Returns the component of Type type if the game object has one attached, null if it doesn't.
GetComponentInChildren	Returns the component of Type type in the GameObject or any of its children using depth first search.
GetComponentsInChildren	Returns all components of Type type in the GameObject or any of its children.
GetComponents	Returns all components of Type type in the GameObject.
CompareTag	Is this game object tagged tag?
SendMessageUpwards	Calls the method named methodName on every MonoBehaviour in this game object and on every ancestor of the behaviour
SendMessage	Calls the method named methodName on every MonoBehaviour in this game object.
BroadcastMessage	Calls the method named methodName on every MonoBehaviour in this game object or any of its children.
GetInstanceID	Returns the instance id of the object.
ToString	Returns the name of the game object.

Inherited Class Functions

operator bool	Does the object exist?
Instantiate	Clones the object original and returns the clone.
Destroy	Removes a gameobject, component or asset.
DestroyImmediate	Destroys the object obj immediately. It is strongly recommended to use Destroy instead.
FindObjectsOfType	Returns a list of all active loaded objects of Type type.
FindObjectOfType	Returns the first active loaded object of Type type.
operator ==	Compares if two objects refer to the same
operator !=	Compares if two objects refer to a different object
DontDestroyOnLoad	Makes the object target not be destroyed automatically when loading a new scene.
