Unity Script Reference – ParticleEmitter

ParticleEmitter Inherits from Component

(Legacy Particles) Script interface for particle emitters.

See Also: Particles documentation.

Variables

emit	Should particles be automatically emitted each frame?
minSize	The minimum size each particle can be at the time when it is spawned.
maxSize	The maximum size each particle can be at the time when it is spawned.
minEnergy	The minimum lifetime of each particle, measured in seconds.
maxEnergy	The maximum lifetime of each particle, measured in seconds.
minEmission	The minimum number of particles that will be spawned every second.
maxEmission	The maximum number of particles that will be spawned every second.
emitterVelocityScale	The amount of the emitter's speed that the particles inherit.
worldVelocity	The starting speed of particles in world space, along X, Y, and Z.
localVelocity	The starting speed of particles along X, Y, and Z, measured in the object's orientation.
rndVelocity	A random speed along X, Y, and Z that is added to the velocity.
useWorldSpace	If enabled, the particles don't move when the emitter moves. If false, when you move the emitter, the particles follow it around.
rndRotation	If enabled, the particles will be spawned with random rotations.
angularVelocity	The angular velocity of new particles in degrees per second.
rndAngularVelocity	A random angular velocity modifier for new particles.
particles	Returns a copy of all particles and assigns an array of all particles to be the current particles.
particleCount	The current number of particles (Read Only).
enabled	Turns the ParticleEmitter on or off.

Functions

ClearParticles	Removes all particles from the particle emitter.
Emit	Emit a number of particles.
Simulate	Advance particle simulation by given time.

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
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.
