Constructors

constructor

  • new SphereParticleEmitter(radius?: number, radiusRange?: number, directionRandomizer?: number): SphereParticleEmitter
  • Creates a new instance SphereParticleEmitter

    Parameters

    • Optional radius: number

      the radius of the emission sphere (1 by default)
