part_emitter_exists

With this function you can check to see if the given particle emitter indexed exists in the given system or not. Note that if the variable being checked is an uninitialised variable (that a particle emitter would otherwise have its index assigned to) this will throw an error.

 

Syntax:

part_emitter_exists(ps, ind);

ArgumentTypeDescription
psParticle System InstanceThe particle system to check for an emitter.
indParticle Emitter IDThe index of the emitter to search for.

 

Returns:

Boolean

 

Example:

if (part_emitter_exists(sname, p_emit1))
{
    part_emitter_burst(sname, p_emit1, part_1, 30);
}

The above code will check for the emitter indexed in the variable "permit" and if it exists, it will burst 30 particles from it.
