This class is responsible for taking control over a single property in the Particle class and managing its emission and updating functions.

Particles properties such as x, y, scaleX, lifespan and others all use EmitterOp instances to manage them, as they can be given in a variety of formats: from simple values, to functions, to dynamic callbacks.

See the ParticleEmitter class for more details on emitter op configuration.

Constructor:

new EmitterOp(key, defaultValue, [emitOnly])

Parameters:

name type arguments Default description
key string

The name of the property.

defaultValue Phaser.Types.GameObjects.Particles.EmitterOpOnEmitType

The default value of the property.

emitOnly boolean <optional> false

Whether the property can only be modified when a Particle is emitted.

Since: 3.0.0
