| + | |||
| + | Sets preview parameters of the particle emitter and are not type specific nor saved to file. | ||
| The **Emit Burst** determines if the particle emitter emits a burst of particles. If enabled the preview particle emitter is restarted after **Lifetime** seconds. If disabled if casts particles continuously. | The **Emit Burst** determines if the particle emitter emits a burst of particles.

| The **Physics Size** parameter defines the radius of the collision sphere assigned to each particle. The physics size is usually 50% of the visual particle size. | The **Physics Size** parameter defines the radius of the collision sphere assigned to each particle. The physics size is usually 50% of the visual particle size. | ||
| + | <wrap hi> | ||
| + | |||
| + | Assigns a particle emitter to be used as trail for cast particles. An example are explosion debris which have a smoke trail behind them. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The **Emitter** parameter defines the particle emitter to use. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The **Controller** parameter defines the named controller in the trail emitter to assign particle attributes to. This allows to adjust the trail emitter depending on the particle state. For example if a controller name is set for //Linear Velocity// then the controller value will be set to the linear velocity of the particle. | ||
| + | |||
| + | <wrap hi> | ||
| + | |||
| + | The **Response** parameter defines how particles behavior colliding with other geometry. Supported are **Destroy** to destroy the particle and remove it, **Physical Response** to bounce particles physically or **Custom Response** to let game scripts calculate an appropriate collision response. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The **Emitter** parameter defines an optional particle emitter to use upon collisions. Emitter is used in burst mode. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The **Min Impulse** parameter defines the minimum impact impulse [Ns] before an emitter instance is created. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The **Controller** parameter defines the named controller in the collision emitter to assign particle attributes to. This allows to adjust the collision emitter depending on dynamic input. For example if a controller name is set for //Linear Velocity// then the controller value will be set to the linear velocity of the particle. | ||
| + | |||
| + | <wrap hi> | ||
| + | |||
| + | Shows the list of all supported parameters for the particle type. Parameters with one or more curves defined are shown with a plus sign. All parameters with no curves defined are shown with a minus sign. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The **Cast Range** parameter defines the range of the cast value for newly cast particles. The cast value is randomly picked from between an including **castValue-range -> castValue+range**. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The **Cast Spread** parameter defines the spread applied to the cast value for newly cast particles. The spread is added to the cast value. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The **Controller Value** parameter defines the controller to use as input for the //Value Curve//. If not set 0-input is used for the curve. | ||
| + | The **Controller Spread** parameter defines the controller to use as input for the //Spread Curve//. If not set 0-input is used for the curve. | ||
