The ParticleData Helper is used to get many aspects of the currently selected particle Group so that this information can be passed along to other operators and conditions.

ON - (Bool) This input data
stream determines whether the operator is considered 'on' or 'off.' You
can connect other operators to this input channel such as a Bool
Helper to activate/deactivate the whole operator.
Time - (Time) This input data stream is used to define the local
time for the operator when the user wants to override the default system
time.
Particle - (Particle) This input data stream reads in the currently
selected particle group that is to be used for it's data channels. The
data stream MUST be connected and will be highlighted
yellow if it is not.
Position - (Position) This output data stream provides
the position of the particles for other operators and rules to act upon.
Velocity - (Velocity) This output data stream provides the current
velocity of the particles for other operators and rules to act upon.
Life Span - (Life Span) This output data stream provides the life
span of the particles for other operators and rules to act upon.
Age - (Age) This output data stream provides the current age of
the particles for other operators and rules to act upon.
Size - (Size) This output data stream provides the size of the
particles for other operators and rules to act upon.
Rotation - (Rotation) This output data stream provides the rotation
of the particles for other operators and rules to act upon.
Alignment - (Alignment) This output data stream provides the alignment
of the particles for other operators and rules to act upon.
Mass - (Mass) This output data stream provides the mass of the
particles for other operators and rules to act upon.
Scale - (Scale) This output data stream provides the scale of
the particles for other operators and rules to act upon.
Group - (Group) This output data stream provides the current particle
Group the particles belong to for other operators and rules to act upon.
Shape - (Shape) This output data stream provides the shape information
of the particles for other operators and rules to act upon.
CH: is displayed whenever a data
channel is used in the selected particle group
