Description:: Sets randomization of particle source parameters. Correspondence between CfgCloudlets class param names and command array of params: particleSource setParticleRandom [ lifeTimeVar, positionVar, moveVelocityVar, rotationVelocityVar, sizeVar, colorVar, randomDirectionPeriodVar, randomDirectionIntensityVar, angleVar, bounceOnSurfaceVar ];
Groups:: Particles

Syntax:: particleSource setParticleRandom [lifeTime, position, moveVelocity, rotationVelocity, size, color, directionPeriod, directionIntensity, angle, bounceOnSurface]
Parameters:: particleSource: Object
: lifeTime: Number
: position: Array of Number - In format [randomX, randomY, randomZ]
: moveVelocity: Array of Number - In format [randomX, randomY, randomZ]
: rotationVelocity: Number
: size: Number
: color: Color (RGBA)
: directionPeriod: Number
: directionIntensity: Number
: angle: Number (Optional)
since 0.74: bounceOnSurface: Number (Optional)
Return Value:: Nothing

Example 1:: _particleSource setParticleRandom [0, [0.1, 0.1, 0.1], [0, 0, 0.5], 0, 0.1, [0, 0, 0, 0], 0, 0, 45, 0];

Druid: Support of parameter bounceOnSurface (Number - 0-1) is in the game since Arma 3 version 0.74. It's variability in speed's loosing in collision with ground. Requires collisions with ground enabled by script command setParticleParams.
