Class ControlPoint

Namespace: ValveResourceFormat.Renderer.Particles
Assembly: Renderer.dll

Control point used in Valve particle systems. System 0 is the default spawn position. These are used in numerous different ways, for many different effects. We only support a few of them.

public class ControlPoint

Inheritance

object ← ControlPoint

Properties

AttachType

Different attachment styles.

public ParticleAttachment AttachType { get; set; }

Property Value

ParticleAttachment

Orientation

The orientation/direction of this control point.

public Vector3 Orientation { get; set; }

Property Value

Vector3

Position

The position of this control point. Some times this is used for things other than position.

public Vector3 Position { get; set; }

Property Value

Vector3

PositionPrevious

The position this control point had on the previous simulation step, used to derive the control point's velocity.

public Vector3 PositionPrevious { get; set; }

Property Value

Vector3

Rotation

The full rotation of this control point, when the source supplies one (e.g. a map entity's angles). Consumers fall back to synthesizing a frame from when unset, since most operators only drive the forward direction.

public Quaternion? Rotation { get; set; }

Property Value

Quaternion?

Methods

GetVelocity(float)

The control point's velocity over the current simulation step in units per second, derived from . Zero when the step duration is unknown.

public Vector3 GetVelocity(float frameTime)

Parameters

frameTime float

Returns

Vector3

SetComponent(int, float)

Write potentially non positional data to the control point, for the particle to read.

public void SetComponent(int component, float value)

Parameters

component int

0, 1, 2

value float

Number
