<brief_description>
|
|
GPU-based 3D particle emitter.
|
|
</brief_description>
|
|
<description>
|
|
3D particle node used to create a variety of particle systems and effects. [Particles] 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.
|
|
[b]Note:[/b] [Particles] only work when using the GLES3 renderer. If using the GLES2 renderer, use [CPUParticles] instead. You can convert [Particles] to [CPUParticles] by selecting the node, clicking the [b]Particles[/b] menu at the top of the 3D editor viewport then choosing [b]Convert to CPUParticles[/b].
|
|
[b]Note:[/b] After working on a Particles node, remember to update its [member visibility_aabb] by selecting it, clicking the [b]Particles[/b] menu at the top of the 3D editor viewport then choose [b]Generate Visibility AABB[/b]. Otherwise, particles may suddenly disappear depending on the camera position and angle.

<member name="amount" type="int" setter="set_amount" getter="get_amount" default="8">
|
|
The number of particles emitted in one emission cycle (corresponding to the [member lifetime]).
|
|
[b]Note:[/b] Changing [member amount] will reset the particle emission, therefore removing all particles that were already emitted before changing [member amount].
|
|
</member>
|
|
<member name="draw_order" type="int" setter="set_draw_order" getter="get_draw_order" enum="Particles.DrawOrder" default="0">

|
Particle draw order. Uses [enum DrawOrder] values.
|
|
</member>

</member>
|
|
<member name="draw_passes" type="int" setter="set_draw_passes" getter="get_draw_passes" default="1">
|
|
The number of draw passes when rendering particles.

|
|
<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">
|
|
Time ratio between each emission. If [code]0[/code], particles are emitted continuously. If [code]1[/code], all particles are emitted simultaneously.
|
|
</member>
|
|
<member name="fixed_fps" type="int" setter="set_fixed_fps" getter="get_fixed_fps" default="0">
|
|
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.
