Methods

Name

Description

DPSFParticle

Constructor to initialize Particle variables

Name

Description

CopyFrom

Deep copy the ParticleToCopy's values into this Particle

Equals

Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object.

(Inherited from Object.)

Finalize

Allows an Object to attempt to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection.

(Inherited from Object.)

GetHashCode

Serves as a hash function for a particular type.

(Inherited from Object.)

GetType

Gets the Type of the current instance.

(Inherited from Object.)

IsActive

Function to tell if a Particle is still Active (alive) or not

MemberwiseClone

Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.

(Inherited from Object.)

Reset

Resets the Particles variables to default values

ToString

Returns a String that represents the current Object.

(Inherited from Object.)

UpdateElapsedTimeVariables

Function to update the Elapsed Time associated variables of the Particle. This is done automatically by DPSF when the particle system's Update() function is called, so this function does not need to be manually called by the user.

Name

Description

ElapsedTime

Get / Set how much Time has Elapsed since this Particle was born.

NOTE: Setting this to be greater than or equal to Lifetime will cause the Particle to become InActive and be removed from the Particle System (if Lifetime is greater than zero).

NOTE: Setting this also sets the Last Elapsed Time to the given value.

LastElapsedTime

Get the Elapsed Time of the Particle at the previous frame

LastNormalizedElapsedTime

Get the Normalized Elapsed Time of the Particle at the previous frame

Lifetime

Get / Set the Lifetime of the Particle (How long it should live for).

NOTE: Setting this to zero will make the Particle live forever.

NOTE: Negative Lifetimes are reset to zero.

NormalizedElapsedTime

Get / Set the Normalized Elapsed Time (0.0 - 1.0) of this Particle (How far through its life it is).

NOTE: Setting this to be greater than or equal to 1.0 will cause the Particle to become InActive and be removed from the Particle System (if Lifetime is greater than zero).

NOTE: If the Particle has a Lifetime of zero (is set to live forever), Setting this has no effect, and Getting this will always return zero.

Visible

Get / Set if the Particle should be Visible (i.e. be drawn) or not
