#### List of particlespawner properties
|
||||
All of the properties in this list can be animated with `*_tween` tables
|
||||
unless otherwise specified. For example, `jitter` can be tweened by setting
|
||||
a `jitter_tween` table instead of (or in addition to) a `jitter` table/value.
|
||||
|
||||
All properties in this list of type "vec3 range", "float range" or "vec3" can
|
||||
be animated with `*_tween` tables. For example, `jitter` can be tweened by
|
||||
setting a `jitter_tween` table instead of (or in addition to) a `jitter`
|
||||
table/value.
|
||||
|
||||
In this section, a float range is a table defined as so: { min = A, max = B }
|
||||
A and B are your supplemented values. For a vec3 range this means they are vectors.
|
||||
Types used are defined in the previous section.
|
||||
|
||||
* vec3 range `pos`: the position at which particles can appear
|
||||
|
||||
* vec3 range `vel`: the initial velocity of the particle
|
||||
|
||||
* vec3 range `acc`: the direction and speed with which the particle
|
||||
accelerates
|
||||
|
||||
* vec3 range `size`: scales the visual size of the particle texture.
|
||||
if `node` is set, this can be set to 0 to spawn randomly-sized particles
|
||||
(just like actual node dig particles).
|
||||
|
||||
* vec3 range `jitter`: offsets the velocity of each particle by a random
|
||||
amount within the specified range each frame. used to create Brownian motion.
|
||||
|
||||
* vec3 range `drag`: the amount by which absolute particle velocity along
|
||||
each axis is decreased per second. a value of 1.0 means that the particle
|
||||
will be slowed to a stop over the space of a second; a value of -1.0 means
|
||||
that the particle speed will be doubled every second. to avoid interfering
|
||||
with gravity provided by `acc`, a drag vector like `vector.new(1,0,1)` can
|
||||
be used instead of a uniform value.
|
||||
|
||||
* float range `bounce`: how bouncy the particles are when `collisiondetection`
|
||||
is turned on. values less than or equal to `0` turn off particle bounce;
|
||||
`1` makes the particles bounce without losing any velocity, and `2` makes
|
||||
them double their velocity with every bounce. `bounce` is not bounded but
|
||||
values much larger than `1.0` probably aren't very useful.
|
||||
|
||||
* float range `exptime`: the number of seconds after which the particle
|
||||
disappears.
|
||||
|
||||
* table `attract`: sets the birth orientation of particles relative to various
|
||||
shapes defined in world coordinate space. this is an alternative means of

||||
setting the velocity which allows particles to emerge from or enter into

velocity values within a range. the velocity calculated by this method will

* string `kind`: selects the kind of shape towards which the particles will

* `"none"`: no attractor is set and the `attractor` table is ignored

* `"plane"`: the particles are attracted to an (infinite) plane on whose

surface `origin` designates a point in world coordinate space. use this

for e.g. particles entering or emerging from a portal.
|
||||
|

* float range `strength`: the speed with which particles will move towards
|
||||
`attractor`. If negative, the particles will instead move away from that
|

point.
|

|
||||
* vec3 `origin`: the origin point of the shape towards which particles will
|
||||
initially be oriented. functions as an offset if `origin_attached` is also
|
||||
set.
|
||||
|
||||
* vec3 `direction`: sets the direction in which the attractor shape faces. for
|
||||
lines, this sets the angle of the line; e.g. a vector of (0,1,0) will
|
||||
create a vertical line that passes through `origin`. for planes, `direction`
|
||||
is the surface normal of an infinite plane on whose surface `origin` is
|
||||
a point. functions as an offset if `direction_attached` is also set.
|
||||
* entity `origin_attached`: allows the origin to be specified as an offset
|

from the position of an entity rather than a coordinate in world space.

* entity `direction_attached`: allows the direction to be specified as an offset

from the position of an entity rather than a coordinate in world space.

* ObjectRef `direction_attached`: allows the direction to be specified as an
|

offset from the position of an entity rather than a coordinate in world space.

|
||||
* bool `die_on_contact`: if true, the particles' lifetimes are adjusted so
|
||||
that they will die as they cross the attractor threshold. this behavior
|
||||
is the default but is undesirable for some kinds of animations; set it to
|
||||
false to allow particles to live out their natural lives.
|
||||
|
||||
* vec3 range `radius`: if set, particles will be arranged in a sphere around
|
||||
`pos`. A constant can be used to create a spherical shell of particles, a
|
||||
vector to create an ovoid shell, and a range to create a volume; e.g.

### Textures
|

|

In versions before v5.6.0, particlespawner textures could only be specified as a single

table contains options that allow simple animations to be applied to the texture.

Instead of setting a single texture definition, it is also possible to set a
|
||||
`texpool` property. A `texpool` consists of a list of possible particle textures.
|
||||
Every time a particle is spawned, the engine will pick a texture at random from
|
||||
the `texpool` and assign it as that particle's texture. You can also specify a
|
||||
`texture` in addition to a `texpool`; the `texture` value will be ignored on newer

clients but will be sent to older (pre-v5.6.0) clients that do not implement

texpools.
