Entity Type Attribute
An Entity Type Attribute defines a Golaem Attribute or a Maya per particle attribute attached to an Entity Type, as well as random bounds for setting its values to each Entity of this Entity Type. The value of an Entity Type attribute can be modified in various ways (ChannelOperator Behavior, ppExpression...), see Golaem Attributes Handling and ppAttributes Handling for more information.
Creation
- Golaem Menu: CrowdEntityTypeAttribute Node
- MEL command : glmCrowdEntityTypeAttributeNodeCmd;
- With the Behavior Editor: Select Entity Types / right click / Add new EntityType Attribute. The attribute is automatically mapped to all selected nodes.
- In the Entity Type Attribute Editor, click on the Add New EntityTypeAttribute button in the Golaem Attributes section
- If an Entity Type is selected when the Entity Type Attribute is created, both nodes will be automatically connected.
