This makes it easier to spot syntax errors when editing the class reference. The schema is referenced locally so validation can still work offline. Each class XML's schema conformance is also checked on GitHub Actions.

<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] On macOS, [Particles] rendering is much slower than [CPUParticles] due to transform feedback being implemented on the CPU instead of the GPU. Consider using [CPUParticles] instead when targeting macOS.
|
|
[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 name="draw_pass_1" type="Mesh" setter="set_draw_pass_mesh" getter="get_draw_pass_mesh">

</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>
|
|
<member name="emitting" type="bool" setter="set_emitting" getter="is_emitting" default="true">
|

</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.
