SOmniFlect : SpacewarpObject

SOmniFlect - superclass: SpacewarpObject; super-superclass:node - classID: #(1700857802, 522734191)

Constructor:

SOmniFlect... 	 

Properties:

<SOmniFlect>.'time on' Integer default: 0 -- animatable; alias: time_on   

Time at which the deflection starts.

<SOmniFlect>.'time off' Integer default: 16000 -- animatable; alias: time_off 

Time at which the deflection ends.

<SOmniFlect>.affects Float default: 100.0 -- animatable, percentage; alias: reflects 

The percentage of particles to be reflected by the SOmniFlect.

<SOmniFlect>.bounce Float default: 1.0 -- animatable 

This is a multiplier that specifies how much of the initial speed of the particle is maintained after collision with the SOmniFlect. Using the default setting of 1.0 causes the particle to rebound with the same speed as it collides. A real-world effect would usually be less than 1.0. For a "flubber" effect, set greater than 1.0.

<SOmniFlect>.bouncevar Float default: 0.0 -- animatable, percentage; alias: bounce_variation 

The variation of Bounce applied to the range of particles.

<SOmniFlect>.chaos Float default: 0.0 -- animatable 

Applies a random variation to the bounce angle. When set to 0.0 (no chaos), all particles bounce off the SOmniFlect surface perfectly (like banking pool balls). A non-zero setting causes the deflected particles to scatter.

<SOmniFlect>.Refracts Float default: 100.0 -- animatable, percentage 

The percentage of particlesnot already reflectedthat will be refracted by the SOmniFlect.

<SOmniFlect>.'pass velocity' Float default: 1.0 -- animatable; alias: pass_velocity 

Defines how much of a particle's initial speed is maintained after passing through the SOmniFlect. The default setting of 1 retains the initial speed is retained, so there's no change. A setting of 0.5 reduces the speed by half.

<SOmniFlect>.'passvel var' Float default: 0.0 -- animatable; percentage; alias: pass_velocity_variation 

Variation of the Pass Velocity setting applied to the range of particles.

<SOmniFlect>.refraction Float default: 50.0 -- animatable; percentage; alias: distortion 

Controls the angle of refraction. A value of 0 means there's no refraction. A value of 100% sets the angle of the particles to be parallel with the SOmniFlect surface. A value of -100% sets the angle perpendicular to the surface. The Distortion effect is reversed when particles strike the SOmniFlect from the back side.

<SOmniFlect>.'refraction var' Float default: 0.0 -- animatable; percentage; alias: distortion_variation 

Range of variation of the Distortion effect.

<SOmniFlect>.Diffusion Float default: 0.0 -- animatable, percentage 

Applies a diffusion effect to the refraction by randomly modifying each particle's Distortion angle by the Diffusion angle. This effectively scatters the particles into a hollow cone.

<SOmniFlect>.'diffusion var' Float default: 0.0 -- animatable; percentage; alias: diffusion_variation 

Range of variation of the Diffusion value.

<SOmniFlect>.inheritVelocity Float default: 1.0 -- animatable; alias: velocity_inheritance 

Determines how much of a moving SOmniFlect's speed is applied to reflected or refracted particles.

<SOmniFlect>.deceleration Float default: 1.0 -- animatable 

Sets the deceleration of particles.

<SOmniFlect>.'decel var' Float default: 0.0 -- animatable; percentage 

Sets the variation in deceleration of particles.

<SOmniFlect>.spawn Float default: 100.0 -- animatable; percentage; alias: spawn_percentage 

The percentage of particles that can use spawn effects.

<SOmniFlect>.friction Float default: 0.0 -- animatable; percentage 

When set to 0.0 (the default), the surface of the deflector is treated as frictionless, and there's no change in the particle behavior. As the friction value increases, particles begin to rebound at incorrect angles and with greater speed.

<SOmniFlect>.radius Float default: 0.0 -- animatable 

The radius of the SomniFlect icon.
