This is the distance, in blocks, between each particle spawn. Usually, you want this number to be a little bit less than 1.0. Using a tiny number like 0.1 may allow you to create a "perfect line," but this will cause both server/player lag.
This is the distance, in blocks, before the trail starts showing particles. This creates a small gap between the shooter and the trail, so it doesn't cover the player's screen. Defaults to 0.5 blocks. I recommend a value between 0.5 and 1.5, but you can set these numbers as high as you want.
Defines the shape of the trail. For most use cases, you would only ever want to use LINE. However, the other options are great for magic/energy weapons.
A straight line of particles, perfectly following the path of the projectile.
Takes no arguments.
Radius -> How far away from the projectile to spawn the spiral particles
Points -> How many points will the circle have? Bigger numbers = more detail. Recommend 16 or higher.
Loops -> How many spirals should we draw at once?
Function -> A polar equation that supports math operations. Try "2 * cos(4 * theta)".
If you use PARAMETRIC, use a parametric equation.
Separate two equations with a comma. Try "0.1805,0.0805"
This also supports equations. Try "0.1805 / exp(-theta), 0.0805 / exp(-theta)"
Cache -> Use true to calculate the values once and store them. 99% of the time, you want this to be true.
Defines how to choose particles from the following list.
Loop through the particle list 1 time. Once we reach the end of the list, repeat the last particle for the rest of the trail.
This example spawns 3 smoke particles with some variation every 1 block. This effectively makes small smoke clouds every block.
Only use this if your function "loops back" in a period of
