Declaration

public ParticleSystem.Burst(float _time, short _count);

Declaration

public ParticleSystem.Burst(float _time, short _minCount, short _maxCount);

Declaration

public ParticleSystem.Burst(float _time, short _minCount, short _maxCount, int _cycleCount, float _repeatInterval);

Declaration

public ParticleSystem.Burst(float _time, ParticleSystem.MinMaxCurve _count);

Declaration

public ParticleSystem.Burst(float _time, ParticleSystem.MinMaxCurve _count, int _cycleCount, float _repeatInterval);

Parameters

_time Time to emit the burst.
_minCount Minimum number of particles to emit.
_maxCount Maximum number of particles to emit.
_count Number of particles to emit.
_cycleCount Specifies how many times the system should play the burst. Set this to 0 to make it play indefinitely.
_repeatInterval How often to repeat the burst, in seconds.

Description

Construct a new Burst with a time and count.
