BBMOD_ParticleEmitter

A constructor defined in BBMOD_ParticleEmitter.gml

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
destroy	Frees memory used by the struct.
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.
