Detailed Description

Particle emitter which emits particles randomly from points inside a cylinder.

Remarks: This basic particle emitter emits particles from a cylinder area. The initial direction of these particles can either be a single direction (i.e. a line), a random scattering inside a cone, or a random scattering in all directions, depending the 'angle' parameter, which is the angle across which to scatter the particles either side of the base direction of the emitter.

void Ogre::AreaEmitter::setSize ( const Vector3 & size )

inherited

Sets the size of the area from which particles are emitted.

inherited

Gets the depth (local y size) of the emitter.

◆ setPosition()

virtual void Ogre::ParticleEmitter::setPosition ( const Vector3 & pos )

virtualinherited

Sets the position of this emitter relative to the particle system center.

◆ getPosition()

virtual const Vector3& Ogre::ParticleEmitter::getPosition ( void ) const

virtualinherited

Returns the position of this emitter relative to the center of the particle system.

◆ getDirection()

virtual const Vector3& Ogre::ParticleEmitter::getDirection ( void ) const

virtualinherited

Returns the base direction of the emitter.

◆ setUp()

virtual void Ogre::ParticleEmitter::setUp ( const Vector3 & up )

virtualinherited

Sets the notional up vector of the emitter.

Remarks: Many emitters emit particles from within a region, and for some that region is not circularly symmetric about the emitter direction. The up vector allows such emitters to be orientated about the direction vector.

Parameters

up	The base direction for particles emitted. It must be perpendicular to the direction vector.

◆ getUp()

virtual const Vector3& Ogre::ParticleEmitter::getUp ( void ) const

virtualinherited

Returns the up vector of the emitter.

◆ setDirPositionReference()

virtual void Ogre::ParticleEmitter::setDirPositionReference	(	const Vector3 &	position,
		bool	enable
	)

virtualinherited

Sets the direction of the emitter.

Some particle effects need to emit particles in many random directions, but still following some rules; like not having them collide against each other. Very useful for explosions and implosions (when velocity is negative)

Note: Although once enabled mDirPositionRef will supersede mDirection; calling setDirection() may still be needed to setup a custom up vector.

Parameters

position	The reference position in which the direction of the particles will be calculated from, also taking into account the particle's position at the time of emission.
enable	True to use mDirPositionRef, false to use the default behaviour with mDirection

◆ getDirPositionReference()

virtual const Vector3& Ogre::ParticleEmitter::getDirPositionReference ( ) const

virtualinherited

Returns the position reference to generate direction of emitted particles.

◆ getDirPositionReferenceEnabled()

virtual bool Ogre::ParticleEmitter::getDirPositionReferenceEnabled ( ) const

virtualinherited

Returns whether direction or position reference is used.

◆ setAngle()

virtual void Ogre::ParticleEmitter::setAngle ( const Radian & angle )

virtualinherited

Sets the maximum angle away from the emitter direction which particle will be emitted.

Remarks: Whilst the direction property defines the general direction of emission for particles, this property defines how far the emission angle can deviate away from this base direction. This allows you to create a scatter effect - if set to 0, all particles will be emitted exactly along the emitters direction vector, whereas if you set it to 180 degrees or more, particles will be emitted in a sphere, i.e. in all directions.

Parameters

angle Maximum angle which initial particle direction can deviate from the emitter base direction vector.

◆ getAngle()

virtual const Radian& Ogre::ParticleEmitter::getAngle ( void ) const

virtualinherited

Returns the maximum angle which the initial particle direction can deviate from the emitters base direction.

◆ setParticleVelocity() [1/2]

virtual void Ogre::ParticleEmitter::setParticleVelocity ( Real speed )

virtualinherited

Sets the initial velocity of particles emitted.

Remarks: This method sets a constant speed for emitted particles. See the alternate version of this method which takes 2 parameters if you want a variable speed.

Parameters

speed The initial speed in world units per second which every particle emitted starts with.

◆ setParticleVelocity() [2/2]

virtual void Ogre::ParticleEmitter::setParticleVelocity	(	Real	min,
		Real	max
	)

virtualinherited

Sets the initial velocity range of particles emitted.

Remarks: This method sets the range of starting speeds for emitted particles. See the alternate version of this method which takes 1 parameter if you want a constant speed. This emitter will randomly choose a speed between the minimum and maximum for each particle.

Parameters

max	The maximum speed in world units per second for the initial particle speed on emission.
min	The minimum speed in world units per second for the initial particle speed on emission.

◆ setMinParticleVelocity()

virtual void Ogre::ParticleEmitter::setMinParticleVelocity ( Real min )

virtualinherited

Returns the minimum particle velocity.

◆ setMaxParticleVelocity()

virtual void Ogre::ParticleEmitter::setMaxParticleVelocity ( Real max )

virtualinherited

Returns the maximum particle velocity.

◆ getParticleVelocity()

virtual Real Ogre::ParticleEmitter::getParticleVelocity ( void ) const

virtualinherited

Returns the initial velocity of particles emitted.

◆ getMinParticleVelocity()

virtual Real Ogre::ParticleEmitter::getMinParticleVelocity ( void ) const

virtualinherited

◆ getMaxParticleVelocity()

virtual Real Ogre::ParticleEmitter::getMaxParticleVelocity ( void ) const

virtualinherited

Returns the maximum particle velocity.

◆ setEmissionRate()

virtual void Ogre::ParticleEmitter::setEmissionRate ( Real particlesPerSecond )

virtualinherited

Sets the emission rate for this emitter.

Remarks: This method tells the emitter how many particles per second should be emitted. The emitter subclass does not have to emit these in a continuous burst - this is a relative parameter and the emitter may choose to emit all of the second's worth of particles every half-second for example. This is controlled by the emitter's getEmissionCount method.

: Also, if the ParticleSystem's particle quota is exceeded, not all the particles requested may be actually emitted.

Parameters

particlesPerSecond The number of particles to be emitted every second.

◆ getEmissionRate()

virtual Real Ogre::ParticleEmitter::getEmissionRate ( void ) const

virtualinherited

Returns the emission rate set for this emitter.

◆ setTimeToLive() [1/2]

virtual void Ogre::ParticleEmitter::setTimeToLive ( Real ttl )

virtualinherited

Sets the lifetime of all particles emitted.

Remarks: The emitter initialises particles with a time-to-live (TTL), the number of seconds a particle will exist before being destroyed. This method sets a constant TTL for all particles emitted. Note that affectors are able to modify the TTL of particles later.

: Also see the alternate version of this method which takes a min and max TTL in order to have the TTL vary per particle.

Parameters

ttl	The number of seconds each particle will live for.

◆ setTimeToLive() [2/2]

virtual void Ogre::ParticleEmitter::setTimeToLive	(	Real	minTtl,
		Real	maxTtl
	)

virtualinherited

Sets the range of lifetime for particles emitted.

Remarks: The emitter initialises particles with a time-to-live (TTL), the number of seconds a particle will exist before being destroyed. This method sets a range for the TTL for all particles emitted; the ttl may be randomised between these 2 extremes or will vary some other way depending on the emitter. Note that affectors are able to modify the TTL of particles later.

: Also see the alternate version of this method which takes a single TTL in order to set a constant TTL for all particles.

		const ColourValue &	colourEnd
	)

virtualinherited

Sets the range of colours for emitted particles.

Remarks: Particles have an initial colour on emission which the emitter sets. This method sets the range of this colour. See the alternate version of this method which takes a single colour in order to set a constant colour for all particles. Emitters may choose to randomly assign a colour in this range, or may use some other method to vary the colour.

If you like you can use StringConverter to convert this string back into a native type.

Parameters

name	The name of the parameter to get

Returns: String value of parameter, blank if not found

◆ copyParametersTo()

void Ogre::StringInterface::copyParametersTo ( StringInterface * dest ) const

inlineinherited

Method for copying this object's parameters to another object.

Remarks: This method takes the values of all the object's parameters and tries to set the same values on the destination object. This provides a completely type independent way to copy parameters to other objects. Note that because of the String manipulation involved, this should not be regarded as an efficient process and should be saved for times outside of the rendering loop.

: Any unrecognised parameters will be ignored as with setParameter method.

Parameters

dest	Pointer to object to have it's parameters set the same as this object.

◆ cleanupDictionary()

static void Ogre::StringInterface::cleanupDictionary ( )

staticinherited

Cleans up the static 'msDictionary' required to reset Ogre, otherwise the containers are left with invalid pointers, which will lead to a crash as soon as one of the ResourceManager implementers (e.g.

MaterialManager) initializes.

◆ setDimensions()

void Ogre::Particle::setDimensions	(	Real	width,
		Real	height
	)

inherited

Sets the width and height for this particle.

Remarks: Note that it is most efficient for every particle in a ParticleSystem to have the same dimensions. If you choose to alter the dimensions of an individual particle the set will be less efficient. Do not call this method unless you really need to have different particle dimensions within the same set. Otherwise just call the ParticleSystem::setDefaultDimensions method instead.

◆ hasOwnDimensions()

bool Ogre::Particle::hasOwnDimensions ( void ) const

inlineinherited

Returns true if this particle deviates from the ParticleSystem's default dimensions (i.e.

if the particle::setDimensions method has been called for this instance).

See also: particle::setDimensions

◆ getOwnWidth()

Real Ogre::Particle::getOwnWidth ( void ) const

inlineinherited

Retrieves the particle's personal width, if hasOwnDimensions is true.

◆ getOwnHeight()

Real Ogre::Particle::getOwnHeight ( void ) const

inlineinherited

Retrieves the particle's personal width, if hasOwnDimensions is true.

◆ setRotation()

void Ogre::Particle::setRotation ( const Radian & rad )

inherited

Sets the current rotation.

◆ getRotation()

const Radian& Ogre::Particle::getRotation ( void ) const

inlineinherited

◆ _notifyOwner()

void Ogre::Particle::_notifyOwner ( ParticleSystem * owner )

inherited

Internal method for notifying the particle of it's owner.

◆ _notifyVisualData()

void Ogre::Particle::_notifyVisualData ( ParticleVisualData * vis )

inlineinherited

Internal method for notifying the particle of it's optional visual data.

◆ getVisualData()

ParticleVisualData* Ogre::Particle::getVisualData ( void ) const

inlineinherited

Get the optional visual data associated with the class.

◆ resetDimensions()

void Ogre::Particle::resetDimensions ( void )

inherited

Utility method to reset this particle.
