[edit] Properties

[edit] Property group 'Beam'

[edit] bAlwaysOn

Type: bool

If true, there will ALWAYS be a beam...

[edit] BeamMethod

Type: EBeam2Method

The method with which to form the beam(s)

Default value: PEB2M_Target

[edit] InterpolationPoints

Type: int

Indicates whether the beam should be interpolated.

   <= 0 --> no
   >  0 --> yes (and is equal to the number of interpolation steps that should be taken.

[edit] MaxBeamCount

Type: int

The number of live beams

[edit] Sheets

Type: int

The number of sheets to render

Default value: 1

[edit] Speed

Type: float

The speed at which the beam should move from source to target when firing up. '0' indicates instantaneous

Default value: 10.0

[edit] TextureTile

Type: int

The number of times to tile the texture along each beam

Default value: 1

[edit] TextureTileDistance

Type: float

The distance per texture tile

[edit] Property group 'Branching'

[edit] BranchParentName

Type: name

The name of the emitter to branch from (if mode is PEB2M_Branch) MUST BE IN THE SAME PARTICLE SYSTEM!

[edit] Property group 'Distance'

[edit] Distance

Type: DistributionFloat.RawDistributionFloat

Distance is only used if BeamMethod is Distance

Default value:

[edit] Property group 'Rendering'

[edit] RenderDirectLine

Type: bool

[edit] RenderGeometry

Type: bool

Default value: True

[edit] RenderLines

Type: bool

[edit] RenderTessellation

Type: bool

[edit] Property group 'Taper'

[edit] TaperFactor

Type: DistributionFloat.RawDistributionFloat

Tapering factor, 0 = source of beam, 1 = target

Default value:

[edit] TaperMethod

Type: EBeamTaperMethod

Tapering mode

[edit] TaperScale

Type: DistributionFloat.RawDistributionFloat

Tapering scaling This is intended to be either a constant, uniform or a ParticleParam. If a curve is used, 0/1 mapping of source/target... which could be integrated into the taper factor itself, and therefore makes no sense.

Default value:

[edit] Enums

[edit] EBeam2Method

PEB2M_Distance 

PEB2M_Target 

PEB2M_Branch 

[edit] EBeamTaperMethod

PEBTM_None 

No tapering is applied

PEBTM_Full 

Taper the beam relative to source-->target, regardless of current beam length

PEBTM_Partial 

Taper the beam relative to source-->location, 0=source,1=endpoint

[edit] Structs

[edit] BeamTargetData

name TargetName 

Name of the target.

float TargetPercentage 

Percentage chance the target will be selected (100 = always).
