Remarks

All parameters must be of type Single.

A piecewise linear function is defined using several data points: (Time0, Value0), (Time1, Value1), (Time2, Value2) and (Time3, Value3). If the time (see TimeParameter) is less than Time0, then the function value is Value0. If the time is greater than Time3, then the function value is Value3. If the time is between those limits, the function value is the interpolation of the nearest data point. The time values Time0 to Time3 must be given in ascending order.

The result of the function is multiplied with the InputParameter and stored in the OutputParameter. (If InputParameter is not set, then the function value is directly stored in the OutputParameter.)

Used particle parameters:

Particle ParameterDescription
TimeParameter A Single parameter that is the input to the piecewise linear function. Per default, the parameter "NormalizedAge" is used.
InputParameter The Single parameter that is multiplied with the function value.
TimeParameter The Single parameter that stores the result of the function value multiplied with the InputParameter.
