Line Emitter component as seen in the Scene Inspector

The LineEmitter component is used with particle systems (see Photon Dust) to create particles from a straight 3d line made from two points.

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.
Point0	Float3	Point 1 of the line for this Emitter drawn between two points.
Point1	Float3	Point 2 of the line for this Emitter drawn between two points.
Color0	ColorX	The starting Color multiplier for particles emitted from this Emitter when being emitted nearest to Point0.
Color1	ColorX	The starting Color multiplier for particles emitted from this Emitter when being emitted nearest to Point1.
DirectionMode	LineEmitterDirection	How to handle the direction when emitting particles from the line.
Direction0	Float3	The direction particles should go when being emitted nearest to Point0.
Direction1	Float3	The direction particles should go when being emitted nearest to Point1.
UpDirection	Float3	The direction that should be considered up for this line.
RandomDirectionWeight	Float	How much to randomize the velocity of new particles (this is a magnitude)
