CPUParticles3D¶

Inherits: GeometryInstance3D < VisualInstance3D < Node3D < Node < Object

A CPU-based 3D particle emitter.

Description¶

CPU-based 3D particle node used to create a variety of particle systems and effects.

See also GPUParticles3D, which provides the same functionality with hardware acceleration, but may not run on older devices.

Methods¶

void	convert_from_particles ( Node particles )
Curve	get_param_curve ( Parameter param ) const
float	get_param_max ( Parameter param ) const
float	get_param_min ( Parameter param ) const
bool	get_particle_flag ( ParticleFlags particle_flag ) const
void	restart ( )
void	set_param_curve ( Parameter param, Curve curve )
void	set_param_max ( Parameter param, float value )
void	set_param_min ( Parameter param, float value )
void	set_particle_flag ( ParticleFlags particle_flag, bool enable )

Signals¶

finished ( )

Emitted when all active particles have finished processing. When one_shot is disabled, particles will process continuously, so this is never emitted.
