struct Particle
Defined in:
The C4Particles.hParticle structure contains state information about a particle.
Definition
struct Particle
Member Functions
Particle::GetPreviousParticle |
Returns the previous particle in a particle system. |
Particle::GetNextParticle |
Returns the next particle in a particle system. |
Data Members
Particle *prevParticle; |
A pointer to the previous particle in the system. This is nullptr for the first particle.
|
Particle *nextParticle; |
A pointer to the next particle in the system. This is nullptr for the last particle.
|
unsigned long particleIndex; |
The unique index of the particle in the particle pool. This is in the range [0, n − 1], where n is the total number of particles in the pool. |
long emitTime; |
The time remaining before the particle is emitted, in milliseconds. |
long lifeTime; |
The time remaining (once the particle is emitted) before the particle dies, in milliseconds. |
float radius; |
The radius of the particle. |
ColorRGBA color; |
The color and transparency of the particle. |
UnsignedFixed orientation; |
The orientation of the particle as an unsigned 8.24-bit fixed-point angle. The top 8 bits divide the circle into 256 angles of 360/256 degrees. This field is only used for point particles and should not be set for other types of particle systems. |
float height; |
The vertical height of a fire particle. This field is only used for fire particles and should not be set for other types of particle systems. |
Point3D position; |
The world-space position of the particle. |
Vector3D velocity; |
The world-space velocity of the particle. |
