Member Function Documentation

Compute()

virtual float IParticleVar::Compute ( CParticleEmitterType &  type, CParticleEmitter &  emitter  )

protectedpure virtual

Implemented in CParticleVarConstant, CParticleVarUniform, CParticleVarCopy, and CParticleVarExpr.

Evaluate()

float IParticleVar::Evaluate ( CParticleEmitter &  emitter )

inline

Computes and returns a new value.

LastValue()

float IParticleVar::LastValue ( )

inline

Returns the last value that Evaluate returned.

This is used for variables that depend on other variables (which is kind of fragile since it's very order-dependent), so they don't get re-randomised and don't have a danger of infinite recursion.

Max()

virtual float IParticleVar::Max ( CParticleEmitterType &  type )

pure virtual

Returns the maximum value that Evaluate might ever return, for computing bounds.

Implemented in CParticleVarConstant, CParticleVarUniform, CParticleVarCopy, and CParticleVarExpr.

Min()

virtual float IParticleVar::Min ( CParticleEmitterType &  type )

pure virtual

Returns the minimum value that Evaluate might ever return, for computing bounds.

Implemented in CParticleVarConstant, CParticleVarUniform, CParticleVarCopy, and CParticleVarExpr.
