Class: l3dpemitter

l3dnode of a particle emitter. Every emitter starts with the default values from the particle system. You can change the emittertype afterwards.

new (string name,particlesys,l3dlayerid layer): returns: (l3dpemitter)
new particle emitter l3dnode (default type)
axis (l3dpemitter,[int 0-2]): returns: ([float])
returns or sets emitter plane normal axis for typerectangle
flipdirection (l3dpemitter,[float]): returns: ([float])
returns or sets percent of flip direction
getparticlesys (l3dpemitter,): returns: (particlesys)
returns particlesys emitter was created from
height (l3dpemitter,[float]): returns: ([float])
returns or sets emitter height for typerectangle(local)
maxoffsetdist (l3dpemitter,[float]): returns: ([float])
returns or sets max random offset from original spawnposition
offsetvelocity (l3dpemitter,[float x,y,z]): returns: ([float x,y,z])
returns or sets offset velocity
prtsize (l3dpemitter,[float]): returns: ([float])
returns or sets particle size
radius (l3dpemitter,[float]): returns: ([float])
returns or sets emitter radius for typecircle/typeshere. equivalent to size
rate (l3dpemitter,[float]): returns: ([float])
returns or sets rate
size (l3dpemitter,[float]): returns: ([float])
returns or sets emitter size (radius,width)
spreadin (l3dpemitter,[float]): returns: ([float])
returns or sets inner spread (radians)
spreadout (l3dpemitter,[float]): returns: ([float])
returns or sets outer spread (radians)
start (l3dpemitter,int timeoffset): returns: ()
start with timeoffset(ms) from now
startage (l3dpemitter,[int]): returns: ([int])
returns or sets starting age of a particle
stop (l3dpemitter,int timeoffset,boolean norestarts): returns: ()
end with offset from now, disallow restarts
typecircle (l3dpemitter, float radius): returns: ()
sets emitter type to CIRCLE
typemodel (l3dpemitter, model, float scale): returns: ()
sets emitter type to MODEL
typepoint (l3dpemitter): returns: ()
sets emitter type to POINT
typerectangle (l3dpemitter, float width, float height, [int axis]): returns: ()
sets emitter type to RECTANGLE. Default plane normal is Z (2)
typerectanglelocal (l3dpemitter, float width, float height): returns: ()
sets emitter type to RECTANGLELOCAL. width = along X axis, height = along Z axis
typesphere (l3dpemitter, float radius): returns: ()
sets emitter type to SPHERE
velocity (l3dpemitter,[float]): returns: ([float])
returns or sets velocity
velocityvar (l3dpemitter,[float]): returns: ([float])
returns or sets velocityvar
width (l3dpemitter,[float]): returns: ([float])
returns or sets emitter width for typerectangles. equivalent to size
