Description

Script interface for particle systems.

A powerful and versatile particle system component.

General parameters

The Particle System's general parameters are kept inside a special Main module. These parameters are visible in the Inspector above all the other modules:



In script, these parameters are accessible through ParticleSystem.main.

Module effect multipliers

Every module has special multiplier properties that allow you to change the overall effect of a curve without having to edit the curve itself. These multiplier properties are all named after the curve they affect - for instance ParticleSystem.emission.rateMultiplier controls the overall effect of ParticleSystem.emission.rate in a given system.

Constant value shorthand

Parameters support a shorthand notation for simple constant values. To set a constant value for a parameter, all you need to do is assign a number to it. It is not necessary to create a MinMaxCurve or MinMaxGradient object in the ParticleSystemCurveMode.Constant mode.

For example, instead of:
ParticleSystem.emission.rate = new ParticleSystem.MinMaxCurve(5.0f);
write:
ParticleSystem.emission.rate = 5.0f;

Performance note: When setting properties on particle modules, the settings are passed immediately into native code. This gives the best performance. This means that setting properties on a module struct doesn't set something in script that requires setting back to the particle system; it all happens automatically.

Properties

automaticCullingEnabledDoes this system support Automatic Culling?
collisionAccess the particle system collision module.
colorBySpeedAccess the particle system color by lifetime module.
colorOverLifetimeAccess the particle system color over lifetime module.
customDataAccess the particle system Custom Data module.
emissionAccess the particle system emission module.
externalForcesAccess the particle system external forces module.
forceOverLifetimeAccess the particle system force over lifetime module.
inheritVelocityAccess the particle system velocity inheritance module.
isEmittingIs the Particle System currently emitting particles? A Particle System may stop emitting when its emission module has finished, it has been paused or if the system has been stopped using Stop with the StopEmitting flag. Resume emitting by calling Play.

Public Methods

ClearRemove all particles in the particle system.
EmitEmit count particles immediately.
GetCustomParticleDataGet a stream of custom per-particle data.
GetParticlesGets the particles of this particle system.
IsAliveDoes the system contain any live particles, or will it produce more?

PlayStarts the particle system.
SetCustomParticleDataSet a stream of custom per-particle data.
SetParticlesSets the particles of this particle system.
SimulateFastforwards the particle system by simulating particles over given period of time, then pauses it.

Inherited Members

Properties

gameObjectThe game object this component is attached to. A component is always attached to a game object.
tagThe tag of this game object.
transformThe Transform attached to this GameObject.
hideFlagsShould the object be hidden, saved with the Scene or modifiable by the user?
nameThe name of the object.

Public Methods

BroadcastMessageCalls the method named methodName on every MonoBehaviour in this game object or any of its children.
CompareTagIs this game object tagged with tag ?
GetComponentReturns the component of Type type if the game object has one attached, null if it doesn't.
GetComponentInChildrenReturns the component of Type type in the GameObject or any of its children using depth first search.
GetComponentInParentReturns the component of Type type in the GameObject or any of its parents.
GetComponentsReturns all components of Type type in the GameObject.
GetComponentsInChildrenReturns all components of Type type in the GameObject or any of its children.
GetComponentsInParentReturns all components of Type type in the GameObject or any of its parents.
SendMessageCalls the method named methodName on every MonoBehaviour in this game object.

GetInstanceIDReturns the instance id of the object.
ToStringReturns the name of the GameObject.

Static Methods

DestroyRemoves a gameobject, component or asset.
DestroyImmediateDestroys the object obj immediately. You are strongly recommended to use Destroy instead.
DontDestroyOnLoadDo not destroy the target Object when loading a new Scene.
FindObjectOfTypeReturns the first active loaded object of Type type.
FindObjectsOfTypeReturns a list of all active loaded objects of Type type.
InstantiateClones the object original and returns the clone.

Operators

boolDoes the object exist?
operator !=Compares if two objects refer to a different object.
operator ==Compares two object references to see if they refer to the same object.
