Classpublic class ChooseInitializer
InheritanceChooseInitializer Inheritance InitializerBase

The ChooseInitializer initializer selects one of multiple initializers, using optional weighting values to produce an uneven distribution for the choice, and applies it to the particle. This is often used with the InitializerGroup initializer to apply a randomly chosen group of initializers to the particle.

Constructor detail
ChooseInitializer()constructor
public function ChooseInitializer(initializers:Array, weights:Array = null)

The constructor creates a ChooseInitializer initializer for use by an emitter. To add a ChooseInitializer to an emitter, use the emitter's addInitializer method.

Parameters
initializers:Array — An array containing the Initializers to use.
 
weights:Array (default = null) — The weighting to apply to each initializer. If no weighting values are passed, the initializers are all assigned a weighting of 1.
