Detailed Description

Puppet that controls a dynamic particle system.

PSystemPuppet controls a particle system in the engine dynamically, and spawns new particles during UpdateTick according to its psys_spawn_rate. The puppet contains particle-system-specific information that only ParticleJoints can access. PSystem puppet can also take position-and-scale-altering PropertyJoints, though it disregards all other light-realted propertyJoints.

Member Function Documentation

PSystemPuppet::KeyframeAnimation (  uint16    anim )  [virtual]

Does nothing in PSystemPuppet. Parameters: anim  an integer specifying the animation to start. In PSystemPuppet, KeyframeAnimation is an empty function. Reimplemented from Puppet.

uint16 PSystemPuppet::PuppetType (  void    )  [virtual]

Returns a code identifying the type of puppet. Returns: the puppet code Reimplemented from Puppet.

void PSystemPuppet::UpdateTick (  void    )  [virtual]

Function that gets called on a puppet every update. If a puppet requires maintenance or upkeep of some sort, changing data only when the Stage recieves a network packet from Kairaishi might not be sufficient. Every update tick, this function gets called to remedy that problem. Reimplemented from Puppet.
