Use global coordinates for particles by default
Particles won't move or rotate anymore with the node (or its parents)
by default. This new default behavior is generally more suited
to most use cases. Local coordinates can still be enabled on a per-node basis.

This affects both 2D and 3D particles, and both CPU and GPU-based particles.

2D particle emitter.
</brief_description>
<description>
2D particle node used to create a variety of particle systems and effects. [GPUParticles2D] features an emitter that generates some number of particles at a given rate.
Use the [code]process_material[/code] property to add a [ParticlesMaterial] to configure particle appearance and behavior. Alternatively, you can add a [ShaderMaterial] which will be applied to all particles.

<members>
<member name="amount" type="int" setter="set_amount" getter="get_amount" default="8">
Number of particles emitted in one emission cycle.
</member>
<member name="collision_base_size" type="float" setter="set_collision_base_size" getter="get_collision_base_size" default="1.0">
</member>
<member name="draw_order" type="int" setter="set_draw_order" getter="get_draw_order" enum="GPUParticles2D.DrawOrder" default="1">
Particle draw order. Uses [enum DrawOrder] values.
</member>
<member name="emitting" type="bool" setter="set_emitting" getter="is_emitting" default="true">
If [code]true[/code], particles are being emitted.
</member>
<member name="explosiveness" type="float" setter="set_explosiveness_ratio" getter="get_explosiveness_ratio" default="0.0">
How rapidly particles in an emission cycle are emitted. If greater than [code]0[/code], there will be a gap in emissions before the next cycle begins.
</member>
<member name="fixed_fps" type="int" setter="set_fixed_fps" getter="get_fixed_fps" default="30">
The particle system's frame rate is fixed to a value. For instance, changing the value to 2 will make the particles render at 2 frames per second. Note this does not slow down the simulation of the particle system itself.
</member>
<member name="fract_delta" type="bool" setter="set_fractional_delta" getter="get_fractional_delta" default="true">
If [code]true[/code], results in fractional delta calculation which has a smoother particles display effect.
</member>
<member name="interpolate" type="bool" setter="set_interpolate" getter="get_interpolate" default="true">
Enables particle interpolation, which makes the particle movement smoother when their [member fixed_fps] is lower than the screen refresh rate.
</member>
<member name="lifetime" type="float" setter="set_lifetime" getter="get_lifetime" default="1.0">
Amount of time each particle will exist.
</member>
<member name="local_coords" type="bool" setter="set_use_local_coordinates" getter="get_use_local_coordinates" default="false">
If [code]true[/code], particles use the parent node's coordinate space (known as local coordinates). This will cause particles to move and rotate along the [GPUParticles2D] node (and its parents) when it is moved or rotated. If [code]false[/code], particles use global coordinates; they will not move or rotate along the [GPUParticles2D] node (and its parents) when it is moved or rotated.
</member>
<member name="one_shot" type="bool" setter="set_one_shot" getter="get_one_shot" default="false">
If [code]true[/code], only one emission cycle occurs. If set [code]true[/code] during a cycle, emission will stop at the cycle's end.
</member>
<member name="preprocess" type="float" setter="set_pre_process_time" getter="get_pre_process_time" default="0.0">
Particle system starts as if it had already run for this many seconds.

Emission lifetime randomness ratio.
</member>
<member name="speed_scale" type="float" setter="set_speed_scale" getter="get_speed_scale" default="1.0">
