16 Comet A comet is an effect that launches a single, vivid shell that doesn’t burst. PAGE 106
Comet Launch FINALE Fireworks User Guide The Launch tab defines the attributes of the comet’s launch. Name Cone angle Attribute Slider (degrees) A comet’s cone angle is the angle across which successive launches are randomly distributed. The center of the angle is straight up. As you increase the cone angle value, the cone widens symmetrically around the center. Cone height Slider (scaler; 1.0 = natural height) By default, the height (or distance) of a comet’s trajectory is determined by the velocity with which it’s launched, and velocity is directly related to the mortar’s caliber (and some other physical properties). The Cone height slider lets you adjust the comet’s velocity (and so its height). If you set the slider to 1.0, you get the velocity/height that’s determined by the caliber. Values greater than 1.0 produce greater heights, as much as twice as high as the natural caliber height. Values less than 1.0 reduce the height. If you set the value to 0.0, the firework won’t lift off at all. Keep in mind that you’re increasing and decreasing the comet’s velocity. The duration of its trajectory will be the same regardless of this slider’s value. Thus, you can adjust the cone height without “invalidating” the comet’s prefire setting. Randomness Slider (Fraction; 0.0 = autocompute) The velocity with which a comet shoots its shell is set naturally by the comet’s caliber. The Randomness slider lets you add some randomness to the velocity. As you increase the slider’s value, the range of velocities widens, but they’re always less than the natural velocity that’s set by the comet’s caliber. For example, let’s say you’re creating a comet that shoots its shell with an initial velocity of 400 ft/sec. If you set the Randomness to 0.0, the comet’s shell will always emerge with the same initial velocity (400 ft/sec). If you set the value to 0.5, the shell could emerge with an initial velocity that’s somewhere between 200 and 400 ft/sec. A value of 1.0 means that the shell could emerge at anywhere from 0 to 400 ft/sec. N O T E Unlike for other firework types, a value of 0.0 for a comet is interpreted literally—it means that no randomness is applied to the velocity. PAGE 107
