Hi

Anyone know where to find a list of all possible properties for a particle.json ?

So we can work with particles without requiring particle designer

thanks

We just added this to the documentation this week.

thanks rob. i think may be missing one - absolutePosition ? i tried that the other day (found it in a post) and it seems to allow setting the particles so they have a fixed screen pos

#4

also seem to be missing emitterType prop - is there somewhere to open a ticket about that? or is here godo for that :smiley:

Hi @mitchell3,

Thanks for pointing this out. Those two properties were indeed missing. Normally a bug report would be helpful, but I spotted this and took care of it… the doc is now updated:

Best regards,

It should also be noted that emitters can be designed completely without JSON files… that was one misleading aspect of the previous documention on this, and why I decided to list every property in detail. You can simply set these properties up as a standard Lua table, and many of the properties can be changed “on the fly” as usual.

great, thanks brent

found the link Rob provided quite helpful - especially odd to find out that the blend modes have strange values
