Emitter node data.

Binary layout: 224 extra bytes (0xE0) after the 80-byte base node header. All fields are inline fixed-size data with no pointers - no relocation needed (only ResetMdlNodeParts is called, not a type-specific Reset).

The update field is architecturally significant: it determines which runtime emitter class is instantiated (“Fountain”, “Explosion”, “Single”, or “Lightning”). Controller 502 (“detonate”) is only valid for “Explosion” emitters.

Verified via MdlNodeEmitter constructor (0x0044a300, 304 bytes total), MdlNodeEmitter::InternalParseField (0x00469700, 2,632 bytes), and MdlNodeEmitter::InternalCreateInstance (0x0049d5c0). See docs/notes/mdl_mdx.md §Non-Mesh Node Type Structs.

Fields

deadspace: f32

Dead space / unused float (default 0.0). Extra offset +0x00.

blast_radius: f32

Blast radius (default 0.0). Extra offset +0x04.

blast_length: f32

Blast length (default 0.0). Extra offset +0x08.

num_branches: i32

Number of branches (default 0). Extra offset +0x0C.

control_pt_smoothing: i32

Control point smoothing (default 0). Extra offset +0x10.

x_grid: i32

X grid size (default 0). Extra offset +0x14.

y_grid: i32

Y grid size (default 0). Extra offset +0x18.

spawn_type: i32

Spawn type (default 0). Extra offset +0x1C.

update: String

Emitter update type string (up to 32 chars). Extra offset +0x20.

Determines which runtime emitter class is instantiated:

• "Fountain" - steady particle effects (most common)
• "Explosion" - burst effects (supports controller 502 “detonate”)
• "Single" - one-shot particle
• "Lightning" - lightning bolt effects

render: String

Render type string (up to 32 chars). Extra offset +0x40.

blend: String

Blend type string (up to 32 chars). Extra offset +0x60.

texture: String

Texture name (up to 32 chars). Extra offset +0x80.

chunk_name: String

Chunk name (up to 16 chars). Extra offset +0xA0.

two_sided_tex: i32

Two-sided texturing (default 0). Extra offset +0xB0.

loop_emitter: i32

Loop emitter (default 0). Extra offset +0xB4.

render_order: u16

Render order (default 0). Extra offset +0xB8.

frame_blending: bool

Frame blending enabled (default false). Extra offset +0xBA.

depth_texture_name: String

Depth texture name (up to 16 chars). Extra offset +0xBB.

reserved: [u8; 21]

Reserved/padding bytes at extra offset +0xCB..+0xE0 (21 bytes). Preserved verbatim for roundtrip fidelity per the reserved field rule.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for MdlEmitter

fn clone(&self) -> MdlEmitter

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for MdlEmitter

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Default for MdlEmitter

fn default() -> Self

Returns an emitter with engine default values.

All numeric fields default to zero, all strings default to empty.

impl PartialEq for MdlEmitter

fn eq(&self, other: &MdlEmitter) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.
