PPAttribute Trigger

The PPAttribute Trigger enables to start or stop a behavior by returning true if a per-particle field is successfully compared to a reference value.

Creation

Behavior Editor / Trigger Library:
Golaem Menu: Crowd Triggers / Triggers / CrowdTri PPAttribute Node
MEL command: glmCrowdTriPPAttributeCmd;

Configuration

A PPAttribute Trigger defines the following specific attributes. For common attributes see Trigger Common Attributes.

PPAttribute Attributes

PPAttribute Name	The name of the per-particle field to check. If the PPAttribute is a vector attribute, the comparison is made with the norm of the vector. It is also possible to specify a component of a vector attribute by postfixing the name of the attribute with "[x]", "[y]" or "[z]". See ppAttributes Handling.
Operator	A comparison operator (equal, greater than…)
Value	A reference value.
