BBMOD_ParticleEmitter

constructor

new BBMOD_ParticleEmitter(_position, _system)

Description

Emits particles at a specific position in the world. The behavior of the emitted particles is defined by a particle system.

Name	Type	Description
_position	`Struct.BBMOD_Vec3`	The emitter's position in world-space.
_system	`Struct.BBMOD_ParticleSystem`	The particle system that defines behavior of emitted particles.

Name	Description
GridCompute	Grid used to do fast computations on all particles at once. Its dimensions are 4 x `System.ParticleCount`, i.e. sufficient for processing vec4s.
Particles	Grid of particle data. Particles are stored in rows and particle data in columns. The order of particle data is defined in BBMOD_EParticle. Particles alive are stored first, followed by dead particles.
ParticlesAlive	Number of particles that are alive.
Position	The emitter's position in world-space.
System	The system of particles that this emitter emits.

Name	Description
finished	Checks if the emitter cycle has finished.
render	Enqueus particles for rendering.
spawn_particle	If the particle system has not reached the end of the emit cycle yet or if it is looping, then a new particle is spawned. If the maximum number of particles has already been reached, then an existing particle is used, without calling BBMOD_ParticleModule.on_particle_finish.
submit	Immediately submits particles for rendering.
update	Updates the emitter and all its particles.
