The SpeedByIcon operator lets you use a special, non-rendering icon to control particle speed and direction. Its operator icon appears in the viewport when you add the operator to the system. When animated, the operator icon's motion is imparted to the particles.
The maximum amount, in system units per second per second, by which the particles' speed can change in order to match the speed of the operator icon.
Determines the mix of the previous speed with the speed of the operator icon. Range=0.0 to 100.0.
When set to True, enables random variation of the particles' speed, so they don't all move at exactly the same rate as the icon.
Get/set the minimum percentage of particle speed variation when .Use_Speed_Variation is set to True.
Get/set the maximum percentage of particle speed variation when .Use_Speed_Variation is set to True.
When set to True, applies animation of the icon's orientation to the particles.
When set to True, particles farther away than the .Distance value (see below) from the icon are moved directly toward the icon.
Get/set the distance between the particles and the operator icon beyond which .Steer_Towards_Trajectory takes effect.
Controls the state of the Sync By drop-down list in the Parameters Animation group in the UI. Specifies the time frame for applying animated parameters:
0: Absolute Time - Any keys set for parameters are applied at the actual frames for which they're set.
1: Particle Age - Any keys set for parameters are applied at the corresponding frames of each particle's existence.
2: Event Duration - Any keys set for parameters are applied to each particle relative to the frame at which it first enters the event.
Controls the state of the Sync By drop-down list in the Icon Animation group in the UI. Specifies the time frame for applying animation of the icon to the particles:
0: Absolute Time - Any keys set for icon motion are applied at the actual frames for which they're set.
1: Particle Age - Any keys set for icon motion are applied at the corresponding frames of each particle's existence.
2: Event Duration - Any keys set for icon motion are applied to each particle relative to the frame at which it first enters the event.
Controls the state of the Color Coordinated checkbox in the UI.
Specifies a randomization value.
