Particle Effects about skript

[bensku]

... I added that in last update. You can use old play/show syntax found in Skript's documentation.

But multiple particles same time? Hmm, I'll look at that.

[Pilvinen]

Would be kind of useless to add multiple particles at the same time as they would only occupy the same space where you spawn them all without support for spreading the particles - which it would seem Spigot API doesn't support.

Unless of course if bensku makes his own logic for that. Since you can already spawn particles at location xyz there is no reason why you couldn't add vanilla /particle command like randomness to it from Skript's side even if Spigot API doesn't support it atm.

True. You should slightly change the coords of the spawned particles if you spawn more than 1 particles. But that shouldn't be too difficult. Can you tell me where I can find a complete list of particles I am able to spawn? And are these particles shown to all players nearby?

[bensku]

Ooops. It seems Github didn't publish the draft which had the feature. Well, done now and improvements coming soon.

[bloggy]

I think I found a bug with the particles effect:

# does not work (does not show any particles)
set {_loc} to location of targeted block
show heart at {_loc}

# does work
show heart at targeted block

[bensku]

Features added, so retagging for that bug which still exists.

[bloggy]

There are even more bugs now.

My script code:

command /inlove:
    trigger:
        play 100 heart at targeted block

The error when reloading this script:

Also there is no effect when I execute the "inlove" command.

[Pilvinen]

I'm also getting these. And the crash stops the skript from running so I had to comment out all the effect to keep in business...

And now I have another problem with this release:
https://github.com/bensku/Skript/releases/tag/dev12c

When I do:
play 100 (dust of oak wood with speed 0) above clicked block

then I get:
the clicked block is not an entity

But I want the particles to be shown at a location too, not only on entities?!

[TheBentoBox]

Try "1 meter above clicked block", bloggy. I can't test right now but I don't know if you can just do "above x".

[bloggy]

Thanks. This works for me:
play 20 (heart with speed 0) at targeted block

But the particles are spread in a very huge radius. Could you add additional parameters to limit the spread of the particles to a smaller radius @bensku ?

[TheBentoBox]

@bloggy, the spread is the offset, which the release notes say can be added to any effect command with the syntax [with [offset of %number%, %number%(,| and) %number%][[and ]speed %number%]]. Try doing play 20 (heart with offset of 0.25, 0.25, 0.25 and speed 0) at targeted block

[bloggy]

Ok will try this. But if you don't add any offset value the spread is way to much / wide. The default spread should be way less.

Closed, and opening another issue
