override attachTexture(texture: Texture): void;

setColor

Updates the color used by this object.

setColor(color: Color): void;

enableTexture

enableTexture(): void;

disableTexture

disableTexture(): void;

setPosition

Sets the position to an absolute value.

override setPosition(position: Position3d): void;

move

Translates by the supplied offset.

override move(position: Position3d): void;

getPosition

getPosition(): Position3d;

setEmissionType

setEmissionType(type: ParticleEmissionType): void;

setDirection

override setScale(scale: Scale3d): void;

lookAt

Unsupported for particle emitters; the runtime method does nothing.

override lookAt(target: Position3d, up?: Normal3d): void;

rotate

Unsupported for particle emitters; the runtime method does nothing.

override rotate(rotation: Rotation3d): void;

scaleBy

Unsupported for particle emitters; the runtime method does nothing.

override scaleBy(scale: Scale3d): void;

show

Makes the object visible.

override show(): void;

hide

Makes the object invisible.

override hide(): void;
