ParticleSystem.ExternalForcesModule.AddInfluence

Parameters

Description

Adds a ParticleSystemForceField to the influencers list.

When influenceFilter is set to ParticleSystemGameObjectFilter.List then only Force Fields in the influencers list affect the Particle System.

        // Create a force field to influence the particle system
        var forceFieldGameObject = new GameObject("Force Field");
        var forceField = forceFieldGameObject.AddComponent<ParticleSystemForceField>();
        forceField.endRange = 5;
        forceFieldGameObject.transform.position = new Vector3(0, 0, 10);

        // Add the force to the particle systems external forces influencers.

        externalForcesModule.enabled = true;
        externalForcesModule.influenceFilter = ParticleSystemGameObjectFilter.List;
        externalForcesModule.AddInfluence(forceField);
