Circle Emitter component as seen in the Scene Inspector

Circle emitters are used with Particle Systems to emit new particles into the system from a circle shaped source.

Fields

Fields

Name	Type	Description
persistent	Bool	Determines whether or not this item will be saved to the server.
UpdateOrder	Int	Controls the order in which this component is updated.
Enabled	Bool	Controls whether or not this component is enabled. Some components stop their functionality when this field is disabled, but some don't.
System	ParticleSystem	The particle system to get data from like style and particle count limits.
Rate	Float	how fast to emit particles into the system.
BurstOnActivatedMin	Float	The minimum value of the range of particle count to be emitted when activated as a burst.
BurstOnActivatedMax	Float	The maximum value of the range of particle count to be emitted when activated as a burst.
BurstOnStart	Bool	Whether or not particle bursts should be done on spawn.
Radius	Float	How big the circle is.
Scale	Float2	The size of the circle on the x and y separately. used to make elipses.
EmitFromShell	Bool	Emit only from the edge of the circle.
CircleAlignment	CircleEmitterAlignment	How to align the particles via the circle on start.
DirectionMode	CircleEmitterDirection	How to emit particles from the circle.
Direction	Float3	Which direction in local space to shoot particles emitted by this emitter.
DirectionTransformMode	DirectionTransformMode	How to determine the transform of the particles made by this emitter at start.
RandomDirectionWeight	Float	How much to randomize the velocity of new particles (this is a magnitude)
DirectionPostTransform	Float3x3	The direction the particles should face as an extra matrix transform after the final particle starting direction has been calculated.
