New page

== Emitter management controls ==
These controls help to add, duplicate and remove particle emitters. The Add button will create a new particle emitter and select it (i.e. pick it in the combo box), the Copy button will create a copy emitter out of the selected one, and the Delete button will delete the selected emitter.

When a particle emitter is selected, all its parameters will be shown in the tab frame below.

== Emitter parameters tab frame ==

=== General ===

* '''Name''': The name of the emitter currently selected.
* '''Max Particles''': The maximum number of particles that can be alive at once. When this limit is reached no more particles will be created.
* '''Particles per Second''': The number of particles per second that will be created.
* '''Start time offset''': Time offset in seconds before the emitter starts.
* '''Respawn dead particles''': If dead particles should be respawned.
* '''Warm up time''': Time that the emitter gets to warm up. This is useful when doing a a stream of something (like a fire or waterfall) and the particles should not be shown “starting up”.
* '''Pause''': A pause is a break during which no particles are created. Particles are updated though.
* '''Pause Length''': The length of the pauses, 0 and 0 means that there are no pauses.
* '''Pause Interval''': The length between pauses. 0 and 0 means that there are no pauses.
* '''Offset position''': How the emitter is offset relative to its starting position.
* '''Offset angle''': How the particle system is offset relative to its start angles.
