angle

Syntax

    member(whichCastmember).modelResource(whichModelResource).emitter.angle

Description

3D emitter property; describes the area into which the particles of a particle system are emitted. A particle system is a model resource whose type is `#particle`.

The primary direction of particle emission is the vector set by the emitter's `direction` property. However, the direction of emission of a given particle will deviate from that vector by a random angle between 0 and the value of the emitter's `angle` property.

The effective range of this property is 0.0 to 180.0. The default value is 180.0.

Example

This statement sets the angle of emission of the model resource named mrFount to 1, which causes the emitted particles to form a thin line.

    member("fountain").modelResource("mrFount").emitter.angle = 1
