Adjust Cone in a Shuriken Particle System
Hi, all! I have a shotgun effect that works using the cone projection. I'd like to be able to vary the width of the end of the cone of a shuriken particle system via code. Any way to do this? Thanks! - YA
I mean this thing. Is there a way to adjust any of the ends via code?

I have looked at the documentation on the particle system. As of now, there is no way to do this via code.
I can provide you with an alternative though:
Place multiple PS with varying cone-width in the same location
Assign these PS as an array of PS in your script (perhaps sorted by size, start from the smallest cone size and put the largest in the end?)
Fire whichever one you want to the script (either random, or by size if the assigned PS is sorted by cone-size)
technically you can go through the list of particles and set their velocity manually just after firing them... but I'd definitely recommend the multi-system approach over that particular headache.
Thanks, guys. I as well analyzed the documentation on it and found nothing. I was hoping there'd be something. I'm sure shuriken will grow to be more robust in future releases. I have the effect exactly as I want it, so I'm just going to have to go with @Chronos-L 's approach. Thanks, guys!
