attachParticlesystem void ParticleSystemManager::attach_particlesystem(ParticleSystem *ps); Undocumented function.

clear void ParticleSystemManager::clear(void); Undocumented function.

doParticles void ParticleSystemManager::do_particles(float dt); Description : does an update and render for each ps in the list. this is probably the one you want to use. Rendering is the expensive operation, and particles REALLY should at least be updated every frame, so nth_frame stepping applies only to rendering.

getFrameStepping int ParticleSystemManager::get_frame_stepping(void) const; Undocumented function.

output virtual void ParticleSystemManager::output(ostream &out) const; Description : Write a string representation of this instance to <out>.

removeParticlesystem void ParticleSystemManager::remove_particlesystem(ParticleSystem *ps); Description : removes a ps from the maintenance list

setFrameStepping void ParticleSystemManager::set_frame_stepping(int every_nth_frame); Filename: particleSystemManager.I Created by: charles (28Jun00) PANDA 3D SOFTWARE Copyright (c) 2001 - 2004, Disney Enterprises, Inc.
