SetParticleCount

This function specifies the total number of particles that will be released during one duration.

Syntax

Remarks

Particle Count takes precedence over interval. When a change is made to particle count the interval will automatically be changed.

Example

--Create a window
window = Window:Create()
context = Context:Create(window)
world = World:Create()
camera = Camera:Create()
camera:Move(0,0,-3)

--Create an semitter
emitter = Emitter:Create(1) 
emitter:SetParticleCount(100)

while true do
    if window:Closed() or window:KeyHit(Key.Escape) then return false end
    
    Time:Update()
    world:Update()
    world:Render()
    
    context:SetBlendMode(Blend.Alpha) 
    context:DrawText("Particle count: " .. emitter:GetParticleCount(),2,2) 
    
    context:Sync()
end
