Properties
Property group 'Beam'
bAlwaysOn
Type: bool
If true, there will ALWAYS be a beam...
BeamMethod
Type: EBeam2Method
The method with which to form the beam(s)
Default value: PEB2M_Target
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.
MaxBeamCount
Type: int
The number of live beams
Sheets
Type: int
The number of sheets to render
Default value: 1
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
TextureTile
Type: int
The number of times to tile the texture along each beam
Default value: 1
TextureTileDistance
Type: float
The distance per texture tile
Property group 'Branching'
BranchParentName
Type: name
The name of the emitter to branch from (if mode is PEB2M_Branch) MUST BE IN THE SAME PARTICLE SYSTEM!
Property group 'Distance'
Distance
Type: DistributionFloat.RawDistributionFloat
Distance is only used if BeamMethod is Distance
Default value:
| Member | Value |
|---|---|
| Distribution | DistributionDistance |
| LookupTable |
|
| LookupTableChunkSize | 1 |
| LookupTableNumElements | 1 |
| Op | 1 |
Property group 'Rendering'
RenderDirectLine
Type: bool
RenderGeometry
Type: bool
Default value: True
RenderLines
Type: bool
RenderTessellation
Type: bool
Property group 'Taper'
TaperFactor
Type: DistributionFloat.RawDistributionFloat
Tapering factor, 0 = source of beam, 1 = target
Default value:
| Member | Value |
|---|---|
| Distribution | DistributionTaperFactor |
| LookupTable |
|
| LookupTableChunkSize | 1 |
| LookupTableNumElements | 1 |
| Op | 1 |
TaperMethod
Type: EBeamTaperMethod
Tapering mode
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:
| Member | Value |
|---|---|
| Distribution | DistributionTaperScale |
| LookupTable |
|
| LookupTableChunkSize | 1 |
| LookupTableNumElements | 1 |
| Op | 1 |
Enums

- PEB2M_Branch
EBeamTaperMethod
- PEBTM_None
- No tapering is applied
- PEBTM_Full
