part_emitter_burst(ps, ind, parttype, number);
| Argument | Description |
|---|---|
| ps | The particle system that the emitter is in. |
| ind | The index of the emitter to burst from. |
| parttype | The index (type) of the particles to be created. |
| number | The number of particles to create. |
Returns: N/A
This function allows you to set an emitter to burst a specific
type of particle and is typically used in alarms and destroy events
as it is a one off code that creates the number of particles
specified all at once following the distribution, shape and
position set by the function part_emitter_region. Should
you need the particles to appear every step, you should be using
the function part_emitter_stream rather
than calling this function every step.
part_emitter_burst(global. Sname, p_emit1, p1, 30 + irandom(30));
The above code will burst a random number of particles between 30 and 60 from the chosen emitter.
