The Send Out test simply sends all particles to the next event, or, conversely,
keeps all particles in the current event. Use Send Out when you simply want
to send particles to another event without any conditions.
TIP You can temporarily convert any test to Send Out. To specify that a test should
send all particles out without any conditions, click the left side of its icon in Particle
view; the icon changes to a green light bulb to indicate that all particles
automatically test True. Or, if you click the right side of the icon, it changes to a
red light bulb, indicating that all particles test False and thus will stay in the current
event. To revert to the test's original function, click its icon again.
Interface
The user interface appears in the parameters panel, on the right side of the
Particle View dialog.
Test True For Lets you specify whether the test passes all particles on to the
next event or keeps them in the current event. Default=All Particles.
■ All Particles All particles are passed on to the next event.
■ No Particles All particles are retained in the current event.
Spawn Test
Particle View on page 2811 > Click Spawn in an event or add Spawn to the
particle system and then select it.
Spawn creates new particles from existing ones. Each spawned particle is born
at the same location as its parent, and has the same orientation and shape.
Spawn can give the spawned particles a different speed and scaling factor. If
you wire the Spawn test to another event, spawned particles are sent to that
event, where you can specify different properties for the new particles.
Spawn is a test only in that it sends the spawned particles to another event
(if wired); it doesn't actually test any properties. All particles that encounter
Spawn are immediately affected by it. Thus, if you want particles to spawn
based on the results of a test, use a different test that branches to an event
