Particle Object

The Particle object hold the state of a particle. Particle objects can be created by a constructor. They can be only created and deleted by the PolyCore object. Properties

	none

Constructor

	none

Methods

Number getBirth()
	Returns the time of birth of the particle.

Vec4D getColor()
	Returns the color of the particle.

Number getDeath()
	Returns the time of death of the particle.

Number getIndex()
	Returns the index of the particle. The index property is used the detemine which child of the particle object will be used to instance the particle.

Vec3D getPosition()
	Returns the position of the particle in the local coordinate system of the particle object.

Vec3D getPositionSpeed()
	Returns the velocity of the particle in the local coordinate system of the particle object.

Vec3D getRotation()
	Returns the rotation of the particle in the local coordinate system of the particle object. The rotation is set via XYZ-Euler angles.

Vec3D getRotationSpeed()
	Returns the rotation speed of the particle in the local coordinate system of the particle object. The value is set via XYZ-Euler angles.

Vec3D getScale()
	Returns the scale of the particle in the local coordinate system of the particle object.

Vec3D getScaleSpeed()
	Returns the scale speed of the particle in the local coordinate system of the particle object.

Vec3D getRand()
	Returns a vector of 3 uniformly distributed random numbers. These random numbers are initalized at the birth of the particle.

Vec3D getUVW()
	Returns the UVW coordinate of the particle.

Number getWeight()
	Returns the weight of the particle.

Boolean getVisible()
	Returns the visibility of the particle.

void setBirth(Number birth)
	Sets the birth property of the particle.

void setColor(Vec4D rgba) void setColor(Number red,Number green,Number blue,Number alpha)
	Sets particle color.

void getDeath(Number death)
	Sets particle death time.

void setIndex(Number index)
	Sets particle index.

void setPosition(Vec3D vec) void setPosition(Number x, Number y, Number z)

void setPositionSpeed(Vec3D vec) void setPositionSpeed(Number x, Number y, Number z)
	Sets the velocity of the particle in the local coordinate system of the particle object.

void setRotation(Vec3D vec) void setRotation(Number x, Number y, Number z)
	Sets the rotation of the particle in the local coordinate system of the particle object. The rotation is set via XYZ-Euler angles.

void setRotationSpeed(Vec3D vec) void setRotationSpeed(Number x, Number y, Number z)
	Sets the rotation speed of the particle in the local coordinate system of the particle object. The rotation is set via XYZ-Euler angles.

void setScale(Vec3D vec) void setScale(Number x, Number y, Number z)
	Sets the position of the scale in the local coordinate system of the particle object.

void setScaleSpeed(Vec3D vec) void setScaleSpeed(Number x, Number y, Number z)
	Sets the scale speed of the particle in the local coordinate system of the particle object.

void setRand(Vec3D vec) void setRand(Number x, Number y, Number z)
	Sets the Rand property of the particle. This property shouldn't be altered.

void setUVW(Vec3D vec) void setUVW(Number u, Number v, Number z)
	Sets the UVW value of the particle.

void setWeight(Number weight)
	Sets the particle weight.

Number setVisible(Boolean visible)
	Sets the particles visibility property.
