struct in UnityEngine

Switch to Manual

Description

Script interface for the TrailsModule of a Particle System

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour { void Start() { ParticleSystem ps = GetComponent<ParticleSystem>(); var trails = ps.trails; trails.enabled = true; trails.ratio = 0.5f; } }

Variables

attachRibbonsToTransformAdds an extra position to each ribbon, connecting it to the location of the Transform Component.
colorOverLifetimeThe gradient that controls the trail colors during the lifetime of the attached particle.
colorOverTrailThe gradient that controls the trail colors over the length of the trail.
dieWithParticlesSpecifies whether trails disappear immediately when their owning particle dies. When false, each trail persists until all its points have naturally expired, based on its lifetime.
enabledSpecifies whether the TrailModule is enabled or disabled.
generateLightingDataConfigures the trails to generate Normals and Tangents. With this data, Scene lighting can affect the trails via Normal Maps and the Unity Standard Shader, or your own custom-built Shaders.
inheritParticleColorToggle whether the trail inherits the particle color as its starting color.
lifetimeThe curve describing the trail lifetime, throughout the lifetime of the particle.
lifetimeMultiplierA multiplier for ParticleSystem.TrailModule.lifetime.
minVertexDistanceSet the minimum distance each trail can travel before the system adds a new vertex to it.
modeChoose how the system generates the particle trails.
ratioChoose what proportion of particles receive a trail.
ribbonCountSelect how many lines to create through the Particle System.
shadowBiasApply a shadow bias to prevent self-shadowing artifacts. The specified value is the proportion of the trail width at each segment.
sizeAffectsLifetimeSet whether the particle size acts as a multiplier on top of the trail lifetime.
sizeAffectsWidthSet whether the particle size acts as a multiplier on top of the trail width.
splitSubEmitterRibbonsSpecifies whether, if you use this system as a sub-emitter, ribbons connect particles from each parent particle independently.
textureModeChoose whether the U coordinate of the trail Texture is tiled or stretched.
widthOverTrailThe curve describing the width of each trail point.
widthOverTrailMultiplierA multiplier for ParticleSystem.TrailModule.widthOverTrail.
worldSpaceDrop new trail points in world space, regardless of Particle System Simulation Space.
