Available since LÖVE 11.0
It has been renamed from ParticleSystem:getAreaSpread.

Gets the area-based spawn parameters for the particles.

Function

Synopsis

distribution, dx, dy, angle, directionRelativeToCenter = ParticleSystem:getEmissionArea( )

Arguments

None.

Returns

AreaSpreadDistribution distribution

The type of distribution for new particles.

number dx

The maximum spawn distance from the emitter along the x-axis for uniform distribution, or the standard deviation along the x-axis for normal distribution.

number dy

The maximum spawn distance from the emitter along the y-axis for uniform distribution, or the standard deviation along the y-axis for normal distribution.

number angle

The angle in radians of the emission area.

boolean directionRelativeToCenter

True if newly spawned particles will be oriented relative to the center of the emission area, false otherwise.
