Introduction[edit | edit source]
Yay! Space balls!
Properties[edit | edit source]
All of the properties for asteroid generation are contained with the GCSOLARGENERATIONGLOBALS.GLOBAL file.
- PlanetInvalidAsteroidZone
-
- The distance around planets that no asteroids will spawn.
- AsteroidsEnabled
-
- Enables or disables the asteroid generation altogether.
True
= generate asteroids
- SparseAsteroidSpread
-
- "Sparse Asteroids" are the asteroids floating out in space not connected to any asteroid fields. This determines how sparse they will be.
- Lower values = more sparse
- LargeAsteroidFadeTime
-
- The time it takes the large asteroids to fade from view.
- AsteroidNoiseOctaves
- This controls the waveform used for generating the noise field. The higher the setting the more granular the changes in the shape of the waves.
AsteroidSettings Property[edit | edit source]
Within the AsteroidSettings container are sub-containers for each of the asteroid types, which hold all the settings for the generation of that specific asteroid type. Since each of these are identical besides a change in type, only the Common asteroids will be covered. What is learned here can be applied to the other sub-containers.

- Scale
-
- The initial size of the asteroid.
- ScaleVariance
-
- Starting from the Scale, above, this controls the variance range asteroids will spawn in size.
- x= minimum size // y= maximum size
- Health
-
- The amount of damage the asteroid will receive before being destroyed.
- Spacing
-
- The minimum distance the asteroids will spawn from one another.
- NoiseRange
-
- The position within the "total noise field" that the asteroid field, itself, will spawn.
- Also determines the width of the asteroid field along the y-axis.
- See detailed description below
- FadeRange
-
- The distance at which point the asteroids will start to fade from view.
- NoiseScale
-
- The distance from the center plane that the asteroids will spawn on the +- Z-axis.
- See detailed description below
