Detailed Description

Object responsible for simulating wind in a level.

When placed in the level, a ForestWindEmitter will cause tree branches to bend and sway, leaves to flutter, and create vertical bending on the tree's trunk.

Example:

// The following is a full declaration of a wind emitter
new ForestWindEmitter()
{
   position = "497.739 765.821 102.395";
   windEnabled = "1";
   radialEmitter = "1";
   strength = "1";
   radius = "3";
   gustStrength = "0.5";
   gustFrequency = "1";
   gustYawAngle = "10";
   gustYawFrequency = "4";
   gustWobbleStrength = "2";
   turbulenceStrength = "1";
   turbulenceFrequency = "2";
   hasMount = "0";
   scale = "3 3 3";
   canSave = "1";
   canSaveDynamicFields = "1";
   rotation = "1 0 0 0";

Member Function Documentation

void ForestWindEmitter::attachToObject ( int objectID )

Mounts the wind emitter to another scene object.

Parameters:

objectID

Unique ID of the object wind emitter should attach to

Example:

// Wind emitter previously created and named %windEmitter
// Going to attach it to the player, making him a walking wind storm
%windEmitter.attachToObject(%player);
