Beam

bAlwaysOn Source code

If true, there will ALWAYS be a beam...

BeamMethod Source code

The method with which to form the beam(s)

InterpolationPoints Source code

Indicates whether the beam should be interpolated. <= 0 --> no > 0 --> yes (and is equal to the number of interpolation steps that should be taken.

MaxBeamCount Source code

The number of live beams

Sheets Source code

The number of sheets to render

Speed Source code

The speed at which the beam should move from source to target when firing up. '0' indicates instantaneous

TextureTile Source code

The number of times to tile the texture along each beam

TextureTileDistance Source code

The distance per texture tile

Branching

BranchParentName Source code

The name of the emitter to branch from (if mode is PEB2M_Branch) MUST BE IN THE SAME PARTICLE SYSTEM!

Distance

Distance Source code

Distance is only used if BeamMethod is Distance

Rendering

RenderDirectLine Source code

RenderGeometry Source code

RenderLines Source code

RenderTessellation Source code

Taper

TaperFactor Source code

Tapering factor, 0 = source of beam, 1 = target

TaperMethod Source code

Tapering mode

TaperScale Source code

Tapering scaling This is intended to be either a constant, uniform or a ParticleParam. If a curve is used, 0/1 mapping of source/target... which could be integrated into the taper factor itself, and therefore makes no sense.

EBeam2Method Source code

EBeamTaperMethod Source code

BeamTargetData Source code

TargetName:

Name of the target.

TargetPercentage:

Percentage chance the target will be selected (100 = always).
