class `ParticleEmitterShape`

Inherits: IReflectable, IScriptExportable

Base class from all emitter shapes.

Emitter shapes determine the position and direction of newly created particles.

virtual ~ParticleEmitterShape() noexcept = default

virtual u32 SpawnInternal(const Random &random, ParticleSet &particles, u32 count, const ParticleSystemState &state) const = 0

Spawns a new set of particles using the current shape's distribution.

random: Random number generator.
particles: Particle set in which to insert new particles.
count: Number of particles to spawn.
state: Optional state that can contain various per-frame information required for spawning the particles.

Returns: Index at which the first of the particles was inserted, with other particles following sequentially.

ParticleEmitterShape() = default

virtual void CalcBounds(AABox &shape, AABox &velocity) const = 0

Calculates the bounds of the emitter shape.

bool IsValid() const

Checks has the emitter been initialized properly.

If the emitter is not valid then the spawn() method is not allowed to be called.
