Detailed Description

Manages timing update information for the assigned particleEmitter. Particles can be assigned to this emitter through the method setEmitterDataBlock(particleEmitterDatablock).

Member Function Documentation

void ParticleEmitterNode::setActive ( bool active )

Turns the emitter on or off.

Parameters:

active

New emitter state

void ParticleEmitterNode::setEmitterDataBlock ( ParticleEmitterData emitterDatablock = 0 )

Assigns the datablock for this emitter.

Parameters:

datablockID

Numerical reference to datablock ID

Example:

// Get the editor's current particle emitter
%emitter = PE_EmitterEditor.currEmitter

// Assign a new datablock value
%emitter.setEmitterDatablock(%emitterDatablock);
