Particle System component as seen in the Scene Inspector

This article or section is a Stub. You can help the Resonite Wiki by expanding it.

The ParticleSystem component acts as the interface between a particle style and one or more particle emitter.

Usage

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.
MaxParticles	Int	The maximum particles controlled by this component that can exist at any given time.
Style	ParticleStyle	The ParticleStyle component that this component is using.
SimulationSpace	direct RootSpace	The coordinate space the emitted particles will do calculations and physics under. (They are not actually placed under this slot, but they visually behave as though they are).

Behaviour

With a particle system, multiple emitters can use the same source ParticleStyle. Alternatively, multiple ParticleSystems can be used with the same style but different simulation spaces to avoid the need for multiple style components. This is especially handy when properties of the style need to be dynamically changed as it can be done fro ma centralized location.
