2D particle emitter.

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

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

2D particle node used to create a variety of particle systems and effects. **GPUParticles2D** features an emitter that generates some number of particles at a given rate.

Use the :ref:`process_material<class_GPUParticles2D_property_process_material>` property to add a :ref:`ParticleProcessMaterial<class_ParticleProcessMaterial>` to configure particle appearance and behavior. Alternatively, you can add a :ref:`ShaderMaterial<class_ShaderMaterial>` which will be applied to all particles.

2D particles can optionally collide with :ref:`LightOccluder2D<class_LightOccluder2D>` nodes (note: they don't collide with :ref:`PhysicsBody2D<class_PhysicsBody2D>` nodes).

Signals

The number of subdivisions to use for the particle trail rendering. Higher values can result in smoother trail curves, at the cost of performance due to increased mesh complexity.

The :ref:`Rect2<class_Rect2>` that determines the node's region which needs to be visible on screen for the particle system to be active.

Grow the rect if particles suddenly appear/disappear when the node enters/exits the screen. The :ref:`Rect2<class_Rect2>` can be grown via code or with the **Particles → Generate Visibility Rect** editor tool.

Method Descriptions
-------------------

.. _class_GPUParticles2D_method_capture_rect:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

:ref:`Rect2<class_Rect2>` **capture_rect** **(** **)** |const|

Returns a rectangle containing the positions of all existing particles.

\ **Note:** When using threaded rendering this method synchronizes the rendering thread. Calling it often may have a negative impact on performance.

.. _class_GPUParticles2D_method_emit_particle:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

void **emit_particle** **(** :ref:`Transform2D<class_Transform2D>` xform, :ref:`Vector2<class_Vector2>` velocity, :ref:`Color<class_Color>` color, :ref:`Color<class_Color>` custom, :ref:`int<class_int>` flags **)**

Emits a single particle. Whether ``xform``, ``velocity``, ``color`` and ``custom`` are applied depends on the value of ``flags``. See :ref:`EmitFlags<enum_GPUParticles2D_EmitFlags>`.

.. _class_GPUParticles2D_method_restart:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

void **restart** **(** **)**

Restarts all the existing particles.
