Description

Script interface for ParticleSystem. Unity's powerful and versatile particle system implementation.

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

collisionScript interface for the CollisionModule of a Particle System.
colorBySpeedScript interface for the ColorByLifetimeModule of a Particle System.
colorOverLifetimeScript interface for the ColorOverLifetimeModule of a Particle System.
customDataScript interface for the CustomDataModule of a Particle System.
emissionScript interface for the EmissionModule of a Particle System.
externalForcesScript interface for the ExternalForcesModule of a Particle System.
forceOverLifetimeScript interface for the ForceOverLifetimeModule of a Particle System.
inheritVelocityScript interface for the InheritVelocityModule of a Particle System.
isEmittingDetermines whether the Particle System is 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.
isPausedDetermines whether the Particle System is paused.
isPlayingDetermines whether the Particle System is playing.
isStoppedDetermines whether the Particle System is stopped.
lifetimeByEmitterSpeedScript interface for the Particle System Lifetime By Emitter Speed module.
lightsScript interface for the LightsModule of a Particle System.

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.
GetPlaybackStateReturns all the data that relates to the current internal state of the Particle System.
GetTrailsReturns all the data relating to the current internal state of the Particle System Trails.
IsAliveDoes the Particle System contain any live particles, or will it produce more?
PausePauses the system so no new particles are emitted and the existing particles are not updated.
PlayStarts the Particle System.
SetCustomParticleDataSet a stream of custom per-particle data.
SetParticlesSets the particles of this Particle System.
SetPlaybackStateUse this method with the results of an earlier call to ParticleSystem.GetPlaybackState, in order to restore the Particle System to the state stored in the playbackState object.
SetTrailsUse this method with the results of an earlier call to ParticleSystem.GetTrails, in order to restore the Particle System to the state stored in the Trails object.
SimulateFast-forwards the Particle System by simulating particles over the given period of time, then pauses it.
