Key parameters need reverse-engineering

The SWHC effect script format is used to build swoosh effects in the Metroid Prime series. Swooshes are characterized as dynamically-generated, trailing triangle-strips "brushed" into space.

SWHC Keys

Scope is one of (Constant, System)

  • Constant parameters are evaluated once initially and retained within the system.
  • System parameters are evaluated per-system, per-frame.
