So I want to be able to have a script where some of the variables are a ‘curve’ like you see in Shuriken particle systems. I need one for color, and one for just a floating point mapping (something like ‘particle size over time’).
How can I get that type of thing?
I’m guessing you write your own using this: Unity - Scripting API: EditorGUI.CurveField
But it would be cool to have a ‘curve’ data type. And since you mention it, the docs on ParticleSystem are pretty cryptic: “When using curves, this values acts as a scale on the curve.” But does not say how to ‘use curves’ programatically.
What data type should I use?
– artieThat API indicates AnimationCurve. Seems like there should be a generic Curve datatype, right? But you should be able to extract values from that for whatever purpose
– DaveAOk that should work for the float value, thanks. Do you know of any color range thing?
– artieI'm guessing Shuriken wrote a custom Editor GUI window to popup the color pickers and then set those RGBA values to AnimationCurves
– DaveAYeah that sounds likely.
