particleSource setParticleRandom
[
    lifeTimeVar,
    positionVar,
    moveVelocityVar,
    rotationVelocityVar,
    sizeVar,
    colorVar,
    randomDirectionPeriodVar,
    randomDirectionIntensityVar,
    angleVar,
    bounceOnSurfaceVar
];

Syntax

rotationVelocity: Number
size: Number
color: Color (RGBA)
directionPeriod: Number
directionIntensity: Number
angle: Number - (Optional)
bounceOnSurface: Number - (Optional) (since arma3 0.74)

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.
