The root of the running parts of components. When a system instance creates a component emitter, every component of its VfxComponents graph creates one running part: the five slots and every entry of the components list. The running part holds the per-instance state of the component. The emitter calls it on these events:

Event	Argument	Order of the calls
Spawn	the number of new particles; they are the last particles of the emitter	lifetime, physics, render, child, geometry, components
Particle death	the index of the particle	render, physics, child, geometry, components
Step	the current time and the time delta, in seconds	physics, render, child, geometry, components

The lifetime slot does not get the particle death and step calls. It has its own hooks for the state machine, the particle ages and the spawn count, described on VfxComponents.

Particle removal. After the death calls, the particle is removed from the emitter. If the primitive keeps particle order, the later particles move down by one. Otherwise the last particle moves into the free index.

The running parts are deleted with the emitter. Particles that are still alive at that point get no death call.

• The client creates these objects itself. The classes have no properties and a bin does not hold them.
