Atmosphere Actor

This section provides an overview of the attributes of the Atmosphere Actor presenting multiple configurations that can influence the calculations of fundamental composition and the impact on Influence Actors and their affect on the atmosphere.

Atmosphere

Atmosphere

Property Type Description
Is Active Boolean Toggle to activate the atmosphere simulation.

Calculation Options

Calculation Options

Property Type Description
Calc Humidity Boolean Toggle to calculate humidity.
Calc Pressure Boolean Toggle to calculate atmospheric pressure.
Calc Temperature Boolean Toggle to calculate temperature.
Use Boiling Point Boolean Checks if the temperature at the center of the Gas Vent or Absorber is above the boiling point and only then emits or absorbs gas.
Report On Location Changed Boolean Report changes only when location vector passed changes.

Composition

Composition

Property Type Description
Base Gas Concentrations Map<Gas Type, float> Base gas amount applied t the atmosphere.
Gas Concentration Caps Map<Gas Type, float> Gas amount caps.

Example Composition

Composition

Influence

Influence

Property Type Description
Influence Unbound Boolean If true, the influence is always active, regardless of distance.
Use Cubic Influence Boolean If true, calculations regarding influence will be based on a cubic shape.
Influence Extent Float This parameter defines the spatial extent of the atmospheric region, specifying the maximum distance from the central point of the atmospheric.

Falloff

Influence

Property Type Description
Apply Atmospheric Boundary Falloff Boolean Activates simulation of decreasing impact with increasing distance from the atmosphere's center.
Gas Falloff Factor Float Determines the rate at which gas amount decreases as measurements approach the outer boundary of the atmosphere. Higher values result in a sharper decrease.
Humidity Falloff Factor Float Determines the rate at which humidity decreases as measurements approach the outer boundary of the atmosphere. Higher values result in a sharper decrease.
Pressure Falloff Factor Float Determines the rate at which the base pressure decreases as measurements approach the outer boundary of the atmosphere. Higher values result in a more pronounced decrease.
Temperature Falloff Factor Float Determines the rate at which temperature decreases as measurements approach the outer boundary of the atmosphere. Higher values result in a more pronounced decrease.

Gravity

Used only for pressure calculations.

Gravity

Property Type Description
Gravity Float Planets average gravity.
Gravity Effect On Gas Factor Float Determines how much gravity affects the gas concentration.

Humidity

Humidity

Property Type Description
Humidity Float Planets average humidity.
Humidity Effect On Gas Factor Float Determines how much humidity affects the gas concentration.

Temperature

Temperature

Property Type Description
Temperature Float Planets average temperature.
Temperature Cap Float The maximum cap for temperature in the atmosphere calculation.
Temp Effect On Gas Factor Float Determines how much temperature affects the gas concentration.

Pressure

Pressure

Property Type Description
Pressure Float Base pressure applied to the atmosphere.
Pressure Cap Float The maximum cap for atmospheric pressure in the atmosphere calculation.
Pressure Multiplier Float A modifier that adjusts the rate of atmospheric pressure buildup, used to either increase or decrease the resulting pressure.
