Mat34 ApexEmitterActorParameters::attachRelativePose

'attachRelativePose' : The emitter will offset this value from the attach actor pose.

Bool ApexEmitterActorParameters::emitAssetParticles

'emitAssetParticles' : Indicates whether authored asset particle list will be emitted, defaults to true (Used only in case of EmitterGeomExplicit type)

In case this emitter has EmitterGeomExplicit geometry type, it can store a particle list in its asset and also in its actor instance. So if this parameter equals to true, then both particle lists from asset and actor instance will be emitted. And if this paramater equals to false, then only particle list from actor instance will be emitterd.

F32 ApexEmitterActorParameters::emitterDuration

'emitterDuration' : Emitter duration time (in seconds)

Specifies a duration (in seconds) that the emitter will emit for after being enabled. After the specified duration, the emitter will turn off, unless it has already been explicitly turned off via an API call. The special value 0.0f means there is no duration, and the emitter will remain on until explicitly turned off.

Mat34 ApexEmitterActorParameters::initialPose

'initialPose' : The initial pose where the emitter actor will be put into the scene

F32 ApexEmitterActorParameters::initialScale

'initialScale' : The space scale of the emitter

String ApexEmitterActorParameters::overlapTestGroupMaskName

'overlapTestGroupMaskName' : Overlap Test Collision Group Mask Name

This name resolves to a 32-bit bitmask of collision groups for overlap tests when particles are spawned. It is resolved by a call to the named resource provider using the 'NSCollisionGroupMask' namespace. If none is provided, the raycast will hit everything in the scene. This avoids storing fragile enums in asset files.

String ApexEmitterActorParameters::overlapTestGroupsMask128Name

'overlapTestGroupsMask128Name' : Overlap Test 128-bit Collision Groups Mask

This name resolves to a 128-bit NxGroupsMask used for overlap tests when particles are spawned. It is resolved by a call to the named resource provider using the 'NSCollisionGroup128'
