CreateParticle
| Arguments | Result | Notation |
|---|---|---|
| Pixel coordinates, direction, speed, type, enemy | Particle UID. | f1 f2 f3 f4 i1 i2 – |
Description
Creates a particle with the given position and velocity. The angle is measured counterclockwise, and angle 0 is to the right. Currently the possible values for “type” are:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| 0 | The default round particle which is attracted to ships and energy sources. |
| 1 | A square particle which travels in a straight line and damages ships only. |
If the “enemy” argument is false, the particle will be blue and harmless. It will still be attracted to ships but will happily float under them.
Note: Particles are limited by maximum speed. Default speed is 0.75 in most game maps. Speeds are clipped to the default speed unless the default speed is changed by calling the SETPARTICLEMAXSPEED function.
How to use
| Standard CRPL | x y direction speed type enemy createparticle |
| Warp notation | createparticle (x y direction speed type enemy) |
Examples
Create an enemy particle moving up and capture its UID.
CreateParticle(CurrentPixelCoords 90 1.6 0 1) ->p
