✨ SCore particles
Score includes many pre-made particles shapes from XParticle library and some custom other.
How to display the particles
The command to display the particle is /score particles
You will have to select a shape and configure correctly the command to achieve to do what you want.
How to remove displayed particles
The command to clear displayed particles is /score clear {player} PARTICLES
General settings for all shapes
Define the spawn point
To define where the shape will be displayed you have two choice, by mentioning directly the location or setting an entity UUID
Using Player/Entity UUID
When you decide to use the entity UUID the shape will follow en Player/Entity if he moves. So it can deform the shape or make a cool effect.
target:{uuid of the target}
/* Example using flat UUID */
target:b33183ad-e9c0-4d48-8eea-f8c9358d3568
/* Example using a placeholder */
target:%player_uuid%
You have to specify an UUID of a player or an entity. The player name doesn't work !
Using a specific location
Using location you are sure that the shape will not be deformed, it will stay static.
location:{world},{x},{y},{z}
/* Example using flat location */
location:world,100,50,500
/* Example using placeholders */
location:%player_world%,%player_x%,%player_y%,%player_z%
Particles definition
Particle type
Define the particle used by the shape. By default it will be the FLAME particle
particle:{the particle type}
/* Example */
particle:CLOUD
List of particles available here: List of Spigot particles
Color
Instead of using particle:{particle name}
if you want to use REDSTONE / DUST particles you can directly use the setting color with a custom color.
You can set two colors separated by a , to have a color transition.
color:{color Name}
/* Example one color */
color:RED
/* Example two colors with transition */
color:AQUA,BLUE
Block particles
Instead of using particle:{particle name}
if you want to use BLOCK_CRACK / BLOCK particles you can directly use the setting blockdata with a material.
blockdata:{material}
/* Example */
blockdata:LAVA
Item particles
Instead of using particle:{particle name}
if you want to use ITEM_CRACK/ ITEM particles you can directly use the setting itemstack with a material.
itemstack:{material}
/* Example */
itemstack:DIAMOND_SHOVEL
Offset / Shift the spawn point of the shape
You can define an offset in a specific direction, it allows you for example to display the shape around the player / entity, without having to do complex calculation.
offsetPitch: the pitch direction where the offset will be directed
offsetYaw: the yaw direction where the offset will be directed
offsetSitance: the distance of the offset
offsetX: Increase the offset X location
offsetY: Increase the offset Y location
offsetZ: Increase the offset Z location
By default these settings are set to 0
offsetPitch:{the pitch direction}
offsetYaw:{the yaw direction}
offsetDistance:{the distance}
offsetX:{x bonus}
offsetY:{y bonus}
offsetZ:{z bonus}
/* Example with flat values */
offsetPitch:0
offsetYaw:-90
offsetDistance:5
offsetY:-1
/* Example with placeholders */
offsetPitch:%player_pitch_initial%+30
offsetYaw:%player_yaw_initial%
offsetDistance:%var_myvar%
