Particle Emitter ~Updated 9/27/20~

Update 9/27/20 - Update that fixes obsolete methods. Loop control has been removed. You will need to control loop in the sbc file itself now.

Update 5/5/20 - Finally got this mod updated, keen removed the particle library so there is no way (afaik) to get modded particle subtype names. So, as a compromise, i've added more controls that allow you to add the subtypeId of the modded particles that you want to test. Once added (and game saved!) that modded particle will stay in that list and all lists for all emitters in the world. Also, you can remove any particles that you want to from the list. Though, vanilla particles will be readded on restart.

This mod allows you to emit any particle that is already in the core game or you can make your own particle and use this block to test it. There are varies controls that allows you to be creative with the particle. And yes, this block WORKS without power!

Note: Not all particles work or function with all the varies controls or not at all.

Custom Control Details:

1) Enable Particle Switch - Switches the particle on/off (only enables when a particle is selected).

2) Particle List - This is the full list of the in-game particles. If you mod your own particle, it'll be added to this list.

3) Loop Particle Toggle - Enables the min/max sliders to add a delay to your particle. If off, your particle will auto loop with default settings.

4) Min/Max Rnd Delay Sliders - Set these sliders to choose a random time (in seconds) to fire your particle.

5) Direction - Sets the direction the particle is facing.

6) Particle Offset - Use the XYZ sliders to offset the particle from its original position (the emitter block).

7) Enable Random Location Sliders - This will enable the min/max random sliders. If toggled off, the particle will fire in its "Offset" Location.

8)Min/Max Rnd Location Sliders - Set these sliders to control how far away the particle fires from its offset location in random locations.

9) Scale Slider - Use this slider to increase or decrease the particle size.

10) Particle Render Distance Slider - Use this slider to set how far the particle will render. Each particle has its own default render distance (set to 0 for the particle's default render distance).

11) Enable Custom Particle Color Toggle - Enables the RGB sliders. If toggled off, particle will reset back to default color.

12) Color Sliders - Use these sliders to set the color of the particle.

Config Files:

There is also two XML config files that allows you to customize the values of some of the controls.
There is one file for admin values and another for client values (for MP or DS).

Known Issues:

1) You will HAVE to open up the controls on the first block that is placed. If you remove the first block without opening the controls, the controls will not be visible during that session and you'll have to restart (working on a fix).

2) Some particles stop playing if the delay is set for too long. I haven't found a way to restart a particle without just creating a new one. Pending fix.
