Scripting Syntax

    AddParticles( [InputObj], [ParType], Positions, [Velocities], [World Referential] )

Parameters

Parameter | Type | Description
InputObj | String | The particle cloud to which the particles will be added Default Value: If not specified a new cloud will be created
ParType | String | The particle type describing the new added particles Default Value: If not specified the first particle type in the particle type container will be used. If none exist a new particle type will be created
Positions | Array | The positions of the new particles in a flat array.
Velocities | Array | The velocities of the new particles in a flat array. Default Value: Added particles have a zero velocity.
World Referential | Boolean | If true, positions and velocities are expressed in world coordinates. Default Value: True

Return Value

Returns the particle cloud as an Operator.

Examples

VBScript Example

    ' Create a particle force
    set myParticleCloud = CreateParticleCloud()
    set myParticleEmitter = CreatePrim( "Sphere", "MeshSurface", "ParticleEmitter" )
    AddParticleEmitter myParticleCloud, myParticleEmitter

    ' Create a particle cloud
    Set oParticleCloud = CreateParticleCloud()

    ' Add particles to the cloud
    aPositions = Array( -6.4986, 3.3704, -0.337, 7.89 )
    AddParticles oParticleCloud,, aPositions
