Modulate Value by Age Percentage
This compound modifies particle values depending on a percentage of their age as defined in the Set Particle Age Limit compound.
Plug its Value output into Plug its Execute output into any port that accepts a scalar valur, such as the Mass, Size, Speed, or Rate ports of the Emit compound.
For more information, see Modifying Particle Values by their Age or Age Percentage.
Tasks: Particles/Modifiers
Output Ports: Value

Profile |
This graph determine the shape of how the particle values are modified depending on the percentage of their age as defined by its age limit. The graph represents the Base value (Y axis of the graph) over the particle's life span (X axis of the graph). Tip: If you're modifying the particle Size parameter, make sure that the start value isn't 0 (zero) or else the particles will have no size at emission! Just nudge the value up a bit on the Y axis to make it any value above zero. |

Base Value |
The parameter's value that is represented as a value of 1 in the graph. For example, if you modify the particle Mass parameter and you set this to 5, it gives the particles a mass of 5 kg when they have reached a value of 1 on the profile curve graph. |
