The names are simply the particular names from the node window. If the name inside the brackets and the affected node name are not identical, a syntax error will occur. Please note that they always have to stand within quotation marks, unless you are using a variable to define the name:

emitter = scene.getEmitter("Circle01")
position = emitter.getParameter("Position") |
With this construction you can access the position of the object that is stored under emitter: “Circle01”. If you take alook at the position parameter, you can see that it consists of three coordinates X, Y and Z. A variable with three coordinates or scalars is called a vector. If you want to read out or manipulate the individual values of the position vector, you have to follow the known concept:
