ParticleSystem.subEmitters

Description

Access the particle system sub emitters module.

Particle system modules do not need to be reassigned back to the system; they are interfaces and not independent objects.

no example available in JavaScript

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

// A simple example showing access.
public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour {

    public ParticleSystem mySubEmitter;

    void Start() {
        ParticleSystem ps = GetComponent<ParticleSystem>();
        var sub = ps.subEmitters;
        sub.enabled = true;
        sub.AddSubEmitter(mySubEmitter, ParticleSystemSubEmitterType.Death, ParticleSystemSubEmitterProperties.InheritNothing);
    }
}

using UnityEngine;
