Video Title: Understanding the Emitter Location Module in Niagara for Android (Unreal Engine)
Presenter: Asif Ali

---

Intro:

• Greet viewers and introduce yourself: “Hey guys, I’m Asif Ali…”
• Ask viewers to subscribe and click the bell icon for notifications.

Basic Setup:

• Demonstrate a basic Niagara setup with a fountain emitter.
• Discuss previous tutorials on spawn modules, explaining that today will focus on location modules.

Emitter Location Types Covered:

1. Box Location
   • Explains the default box shape for particles.
   • Size Control: X, Y, Z dimensions.
   • Offset Control: Ability to move particles along axes.
   • Animation: Animating offset and size over time.
   • Rotation: Rotating the box shape.
   • Surface/Thickness: Solid vs. edge spawn (with control over thickness).
   • Deterministic vs. Non-deterministic: Controlling particle spawning positions using the “seed” for consistency.
   • Coordinate Space: Local vs. World coordinates and how to scale.
2. Cone Location
   • Default shape: Cone.
   • Angle Control: Adjust cone angle from 40 to 360 degrees.
   • Length & Axis: Length controls radius and axis modifies orientation.
   • Point Distribution & Offset: Control particle distribution along the cone’s surface and animate the position.
3. Slender Location
   • Demonstrates a cylindrical shape.
   • Height & Radius Control: Modify both height and radius.
   • Axis & Profile: Change alignment and apply a lath profile (using curves for radius adjustments).
   • Surface/Edge Control: Similar to box location, allows defining the edge or solid body.
4. Grid Location
   • Creates a fixed grid for particle spawning.
   • Spawn Particle in Grid: Visualize particle distribution in grid format.
   • Offset & Resolution: Adjust the resolution and gap between grid points.
   • Bounding Box: Control particle placement inside a defined box size.
5. Jitter Location
   • Adds random jitter to particle locations.
   • Useful for effects like lightning or ribbon particles.
6. Rotation Around a Point
   • Demonstrates rotating particles around a specific point in space.
   • Radius Control: Adjust rotation speed and direction.
7. Static Location
   • Explains how to spawn particles on a static mesh (e.g., characters or objects).
   • Discusses options like offset on mesh normals.
8. System Location
   • Basic location for particles to spawn at a fixed point.
   • Offers simple coordinate and spawn mask control.
9. Torus Location
   • Explains spawning particles along a torus (ring-shaped structure).
   • Radius & Loops Control: Adjust the radius and loops for particle placement.

Additional Techniques:

• Animation and time manipulation: Integrating the location modules with age, time, or other modules for advanced effects.

Conclusion:

• Recap the modules covered in the video and encourage experimentation with the settings.
• Promote future tutorials on using these modules creatively.
• Ask viewers to comment any questions, and remind them to subscribe for more content.
