Available since LÖVE 11.0
It has been renamed from ParticleSystem:setAreaSpread.

Sets area-based spawn parameters for the particles. Newly created particles will spawn in an area around the emitter based on the parameters to this function.

Function

Synopsis

ParticleSystem:setEmissionArea( distribution, dx, dy, angle, directionRelativeToCenter )

Arguments

AreaSpreadDistribution distribution
The type of distribution for new particles.
number dx
The maximum spawn distance from the emitter along the x-axis for uniform distribution, or the standard deviation along the x-axis for normal distribution.
number dy
The maximum spawn distance from the emitter along the y-axis for uniform distribution, or the standard deviation along the y-axis for normal distribution.
number angle (0)
The angle in radians of the emission area.
boolean directionRelativeToCenter (false)
True if newly spawned particles will be oriented relative to the center of the emission area, false otherwise.
