Func dustmotes: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 11:33, 29 May 2018

A func_dustmotes can be seen in CS_Militia

It spawns sparkling dust motes within its volume.

Note:Make sure you use the trigger texture with this entity. The nodraw texture can also be used, but not recommended.

Tip:This entity is affected by env_wind.

Note:The default material is particle/sparkles.vmt

Minimum Particle Size ([todo internal name (i)]) <string>: Minimum size a dust mote should be. The units aren't exactly clear, but 100 is the highest you should probably be going.

Maximum Particle Size ([todo internal name (i)]) <string>: Maximum size a dust mote should be.

Alpha ([todo internal name (i)]) <integer>: Transparency of the particles. 255 is fully opaque, 0 is invisible (won't render at all).

Name (targetname) <string>[ Edit ]: The name that other entities refer to this entity by, via Inputs/Outputs or other keyvalues (e.g. parentname or target).
Also displayed in Hammer's 2D views and Entity Report. See also: Generic Keyvalues, Inputs and Outputs available to all entities

BModelParticleSpawner:

Start Disabled (StartDisabled) <boolean>: Suspend spawning particles after spawning ? Default value is 0

Particle Per Second (SpawnRate) <integer>: Number of particles to spawn, per second.

Note:Fourth number effects transparency after reload.

Maximum Particle Speed (SpeedMax) <string>: Maximum speed that the particles can move after spawning.

Minimum Particle Lifetime (LifetimeMin) <string>: Minimum number of seconds until each particle dies. Particles live for a random duration between this and 'Maximum Particle Lifetime'.

Maximum Particle Lifetime (LifetimeMax) <string>: Maximum number of seconds until each particle dies. Particles live for a random duration between 'Minimum Particle Lifetime' and this.

Maximum Visible Distance (DistMax) <integer>: Maximum distance at which particles are visible. They fade to translucent at this distance.

Frozen (Frozen) <boolean>: Spawn the number of particles in SpawnRate immediately, and then go inactive ? Default value is 0
