Detailed Description

Represents the main emitter object that creates and holds the particles.

Note
Particles can only be created using an emitter object, but once they are created their velocity can be modified.

Member Function Documentation

◆ GetParticleCount()

Int32 GetParticleCount ( )

Gets the number of particles in the particle array.

Returns
The total number of particles created by this emitter.

◆ IsMatrixAvailable()

Bool IsMatrixAvailable ( )

Checks if the Particle::v1 vector in the particles can be accessed, effective if the emitter has the Tangential option enabled.

Returns
true if the direction vector is valid and used, otherwise false.

◆ GetLifetime()

Float GetLifetime ( )

Gets the lifetime for the particles. When Particle::t reaches this time the particle will die.

Returns
The number of frames the particles will live for.

◆ GetParticleR()

const Particle* GetParticleR ( ParticleTag pt,
Int32  i 
)

Gets the read-only Particle structure for a particle in the particle array.

Parameters
[in]ptThe particle tag from the emitter (this particle object) to get the particles for. The caller owns the pointed tag.
This tag is not visible in the Cinema 4D editor, to retrieve it use:
Definition: c4d_particleobject.h:60
#define Tparticle
Particle data - ParticleTag.
Definition: ge_prepass.h:1414
PyObject * op
Definition: object.h:520
where op is the particle emitter object.
[in]iThe index in the array of the particle to get: 0 <= i < GetParticleCount()
Returns
The particle information structure. The particle object owns the pointed particle information.

◆ GetParticleW()

Particle* GetParticleW ( ParticleTag pt,
Int32  i 
)

Gets the writable Particle structure for a particle in the particle array.

Parameters
[in]ptThe particle tag from the emitter (this particle object) to get the particles for. The caller owns the pointed tag.
This tag is not visible in the Cinema 4D editor, to retrieve it use:
where op is the particle emitter object.
[in]iThe index in the array of the particle to get: 0 <= i < GetParticleCount()
Returns
The particle information structure. The particle object owns the pointed particle information.

◆ GetParticleDetails()

ParticleDetails* GetParticleDetails ( const BaseDocument doc)

Gets an array of ParticleDetails for each particle of this emitter.

Warning
The returned ParticleDetails array must be freed using DeleteMem() afterwards.
Parameters
[in]docThe document that the emitter is in. The caller owns the pointed document.
Generally every object, tag etc. can obtain the document it is linked to, but this costs (a bit) time.
So for speed optimizations the document is often explicitly passed.
Returns
The particle details for the emitter's particles.
