Detailed Description

Provides custom movement behaviors for particles.

These functions can be used to create custom particle movement behaviors.

Warning

Custom movement will override default movement behaviors, like speed, gravity, drag, etc.

Usage

To use a custom movement function, set the custom_Movement field in the emitter to the desired function.

Example

emitter->custom_Movement = Particle_LinearMovement;

This will make the particles move in a linear direction.
