GenEvenPeriodic

Generator. Generates particles with an even periodic rate.

All properties of the generator must be constant over time, otherwise generating glitches may occur. The rate is specified as a percentage of emitter capacity per second.

The rate should depend on the maximum lifetime of the particles. For example, if particles live for a maximum of 3 seconds, the rate should be around 32% (a little less than 100% / 3 = 33.3%).

Properties & inputs:

• Generating rate (input | property): Percentage of emitter capacity generated per second.
• Enable time limit (property): Limits the generating duration in seconds.
• Enable shots limit (property): Limits the total number of emission events.
• Delay (input | property): Delay in seconds before generation starts.
• Start Phase (input | property): Value from 0 to 1. If 1, the first shot fires immediately. If 0, a full period elapses first.
• Burst (input | property): Number of particles per shot.

Outputs:

• Burst Amount (float): Number of particles in the current burst.
• Burst Pos. (float): Position of a particle within the burst, in the range [0; 1].
