# skript-particle
\n Skript addon for creating complex particle effects with minimal hassle.<\/p>\n

**Requires Skript 2.7+, Java 17+, Paper 1.18 – 1.20.4**<\/p>\n

Download at the releases page. <\/p>\n

You can find help, give suggestions, or voice complaints in the Issues tab here, or on the skript-chat discord here.<\/p>\n

Skript-Particle is intended to provide syntax for creating complex shapes with particles. Competent and powerful particle syntaxes exist in addons like SkBee, but creating shapes requires a lot more effort and know-how.
\n They’re also inherently slower and less performant than Java, even without considering the usual need to re-calculate the shape each time it’s drawn.<\/p>\n

The goal for Skript-Particle is to provide easy-to-use, flexible, and powerful syntax to create particle shapes.
\n The basic structure is a set of various shapes, like circles, lines, polygons, and more. These shapes are relative to a center point and aren’t positioned anywhere specific.
\n The drawing syntax takes a set of shapes and a location and draws all the shapes relative to that location.
\n This allows the definition of a bunch of shapes that only need to be defined once and can then be drawn in many places and in many rotations.
\n Since shapes can be rotated as a group, it’s also very simple to change the rotation and orientation of your shapes with a single line.<\/p>\n

### Syntax available on skUnity and SkriptHub<\/p>\n

Here’s some example code:
\n“`sk
\ncommand \/magic:
\n trigger:
\n set {_shapes::outer-circle} to a circle of radius 2.225
\n set {_shapes::inner-circle} to a circle of radius 2
\n set {_shapes::tiny-circle} to a circle of radius 0.875<\/p>\n

set {_shapes::triangle-1} to a triangle with radius 2
\n set {_shapes::triangle-2} to a triangle with radius 2
\n rotate shapes {_shapes::triangle-2} around y axis by 60 degrees<\/p>\n

set particle of {_shapes::*} to electric spark<\/p>\n

loop 200 times:
\n set {_view} to vector from yaw player’s yaw and pitch player’s pitch
\n set {_yaw} to yaw of {_view}
\n # figure out the rotation needed to rotate the shape
\n set {_rotation} to rotation from vector(0, 1, 0) to {_view}
\n draw the shape {_shapes::*} at player’s eye location ~ {_view}:
\n # only happens for this draw call, the original shape is not modified
\n # note that this is called once for each shape, hence `drawn shape` and not `drawn shapes`
\n rotate drawn shape by {_rotation}
\n # the shape takes the shortest path to rotate to the desired rotation, but that causes it to appear to rotate as we turn.
\n # so we’ll correct for it by rotating the shape around the y axis by the yaw of the player
\n rotate drawn shape around relative y axis by -1 * {_yaw}<\/p>\n

## Current Features:
\n– Shapes:
\n – Bezier Curves
\n – Circles, Ellipses, Spheres, and Ellipsoids
\n – Cylinders and Elliptical Cylinders
\n – Arcs and Spherical Caps
\n – Helices
\n – Lines
\n – 2D Regular and Irregular Polygons and Prisms
\n – Regular polyhedra
\n – Rectangles and cuboids
\n– Drawing:
\n – Three styles: outline, surface, and filled. Some shapes only support one or two of these styles.
\n – Rotation to any orientation.
\n – Scaling and offsetting.
\n – Drawing multiple shapes at once.
\n – Options for who sees the particles (player specific)
\n – Custom particle data and density per shape
\n – Full support for SkBee’s particle data syntaxes
\n – Debug axes for clear visualization of the orientation of your shape.
\n – Shapes are only calculated when they actually change, so you can draw the same shape many times without any performance hit.
\n – Option to make all calculation and drawing synchronous (async by default)
\n – Ability to continuously draw a shape for a timespan (async only)
\n – Dynamic locations, so particles can follow an entity with no additional user effort
\n– Particles:
\n – Expression for custom particles
\n – Section for custom particles
\n– Animation:
\n – Ability to stretch out drawing a shape over a timespan<\/p>\n

## Planned Features:
\n – Shapes:
\n – Custom shapes defined by a function
\n – “Common but difficult to code” shapes like hearts, stars, and more
\n – Drawing:
\n – Combining shapes into a custom shape to be drawn as a single shape.
\n – Gradient colour fields, with custom colour nodes.
\n – Animation:
\n – Set up a pre-made animation in a custom structure, play back with one draw call <\/p>\n
