The Squash slave component of Bomber Plus outputs a grayscale value within the range of 0...1 that represents the actual level of flattening along the axes for the particle which is currently being rendered, after the Squash and Squash Chaos parameters have been applied. This component allows you to modify the particle subtree based on how thinly squashed particle is.
In order to affect individual particles, this slave component must be connected to the subtree of its master's Particle input, and such connection must not be routed through any bitmap-based components.
For general information about slave components, see Slave components.
Preview:
This control allows you to preview output values of the slave component, which may be useful for creating and debugging the Particle subtree. Technically, Preview defines the output of the slave component in situations when it is sampled by any input other than its master's Particle input.
