VisualShaderNodeParticleAccelerator
===================================

**Inherits:** :ref:`VisualShaderNode<class_VisualShaderNode>` **<** :ref:`Resource<class_Resource>` **<** :ref:`RefCounted<class_RefCounted>` **<** :ref:`Object<class_Object>`

A visual shader node that accelerates particles.

.. rst-class:: classref-introduction-group

Description
-----------

Particle accelerator can be used in "process" step of particle shader. It will accelerate the particles. Connect it to the Velocity output port.

Enumerations
------------

.. _enum_VisualShaderNodeParticleAccelerator_Mode:

.. rst-class:: classref-enumeration

enum **Mode**: :ref:`🔗<enum_VisualShaderNodeParticleAccelerator_Mode>`

.. _class_VisualShaderNodeParticleAccelerator_constant_MODE_LINEAR:

.. rst-class:: classref-enumeration-constant

:ref:`Mode<enum_VisualShaderNodeParticleAccelerator_Mode>` **MODE_LINEAR** = ``0``

The particles will be accelerated based on their velocity.

.. rst-class:: classref-enumeration-constant

:ref:`Mode<enum_VisualShaderNodeParticleAccelerator_Mode>` **MODE_RADIAL** = ``1``

The particles will be accelerated towards or away from the center.

.. _class_VisualShaderNodeParticleAccelerator_constant_MODE_TANGENTIAL:

.. rst-class:: classref-enumeration-constant

:ref:`Mode<enum_VisualShaderNodeParticleAccelerator_Mode>` **MODE_TANGENTIAL** = ``2``

The particles will be accelerated tangentially to the radius vector from center to their position.

.. _class_VisualShaderNodeParticleAccelerator_constant_MODE_MAX:

.. rst-class:: classref-enumeration-constant

:ref:`Mode<enum_VisualShaderNodeParticleAccelerator_Mode>` **MODE_MAX** = ``3``

Represents the size of the :ref:`Mode<enum_VisualShaderNodeParticleAccelerator_Mode>` enum.
