GPUParticles2D

Inherits: Node2D < CanvasItem < Node < Object

A 2D particle emitter.

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 process_material property to add a ParticleProcessMaterial to configure particle appearance and behavior. Alternatively, you can add a ShaderMaterial which will be applied to all particles.

2D particles can optionally collide with LightOccluder2D, but they don't collide with PhysicsBody2D nodes.
