This function specifies how long, in milliseconds, a particle will exist.

Syntax

• SetDuration(int Duration=3000)

Parameters

• Duration: - the length of time a particle will last.

Remarks

For smoother particle animations use the particle animation shader.

Example

#include "Leadwerks.h"

using namespace Leadwerks;

int main(int argc, const char *argv[])
{
    float duration = 3000;

    Leadwerks::Window* window = Leadwerks::Window::Create();
    Context* context = Context::Create(window);
    World* world = World::Create();
    Camera* camera = Camera::Create();
    camera->SetRotation(35, 0, 0);
    camera->Move(0, 0, -3);

    //Create an emitter
    Emitter* emitter = Emitter::Create(100);
    emitter->SetDuration(duration);
    
    while (true)
    {
        if (window->Closed() || window->KeyDown(Key::Escape)) return false;

        Leadwerks::Leadwerks::Time::Update();
        world->Update();
        world->Render();

        context->SetBlendMode(Blend::Alpha);
        context->DrawText("Particles will last for: " + String(emitter->GetDuration() / 1000) + " seconds.", 2, 2);
        context->SetBlendMode(Blend::Solid);

        context->Sync();
    }
}
