$Author: Aleiby $ $Date: 5/17/02 8:28p $ $Revision: 10 $ Name: ParticleTemplate.uc Author: Aaron R Leiby Date: 9 March 2000 Description: ParticleTemplates are used to store initialization data instead of Particles or ParticleGenerators. There is a 1 to 1 relationship of Particle subclasses to ParticleTemplate subclasses. Each Particle subclass must implement its own ParticleTemplate which is responsible for fully intializing Particles of its associated type (also taking into account that the particle it is inializing could possibly have been recycled, thus we need to inialize *everything* just in case). How to use this class:
to properly initialize all the variables you add to your subclass.
Properties
Property group 'Lighting'
bDynamicLit
