<h1><p id="Component Concept">Component Concept</p></h1>
|
|
|

The particle system is component based. What this means is that particle effects are composed via a set of components. In order for an effect to do something, you add a component that handles that aspect of the effect. For example, an emitter usually needs to have rules for its lifetime, thus the effect should have one or more lifetime components that handle lifetime duties for the emitter and emitted particles.</br></br>The idea is that new components can be added later, and one can combine components (where it makes sense) to get different behaviors. A particle might have a Dynamic component for moving around, and a Collision component for handling interaction with the terrain, for example.</br></br>Think of components as telling the particle system what you want the emitter or particle to do, rather than exposing a list of particle parameters and having to wrangle those parameters to get the desired behavior.</br><a href="#Index">Back to top</a><br><br>

This component specifies the frame of reference of the emitter. Applies only when the emitter is attached to an entity. When 'position' is true, the particles will simulate in entity space, otherwise they will simulate in world space. Rotation works the same way for rotation. Default is false for both, which makes the particles emit relative to the emitter, then simulate independently from the emitter. Note that rotation = true and position = false is an invalid option. Velocity will add the emitter's velocity to the initial particle velocity.</br><h4></h4>

<h1><p id="Events">Events</p></h1>

Events can be triggered elsewhere in the .json and fire off new particle and sound effects.</br></br>Particle effects have different types. If the type is "emitter", this will create an emitter of "effect" type at the event's world position, in a fire-and-forget way. "emitter_bound" works similarly, except if the spawning emitter is bound to an actor/locator, the new emitter will be bound to the same actor/locator. If the type is "particle", then the event will manually emit a particle on an emitter of "effect" type at the event location, creating the emitter if it doesn't already exist (be sure to use "minecraft:emitter_rate_manual" for the spawned emitter effect). "particle_with_velocity" will do the same as "particle" except the new particle will inherit the spawning particle's velocity.</br></br>Sound effects specify the specific "level sound event" to be played when the event fires.</br></br>The events themselves consist of an optional node tree and/or an actual event. When "sequence" is specified, that array will execute in order, with every element executing when that event fires. When using "random", one element will be picked from the array based on the weight.</br><h2></h2>

The mob flame effect is used by the Blaze when it's charging up to hurl fireballs. This is a flipbook flame effect that rises over time.</br></br>Unlike the earlier particles, this is a regular emitter. It is tied to an entity, thus uses the entity_aabb shape, as we want the flames to appear all over the blaze. As the effect is tied to the charged state, the activation expression is used, tied to the EntityFlag::CHARGED entity variable. This causes the flames to appear when the Blaze is charging, then to disappear when it isn't.</br></br>In this case, we use the texturewidth/height to make the texel "resolution" be one frame of animation, thus allowing advancement of the frames to be just 1:</br><h2></h2>

Where it makes sense, any field can use a Molang expression. Molang expressions are strings, and are defined in the Molang documentation. The particle system uses some special Molang variables that particle Molang expressions can use. Additionally, custom Molang paramaters can be set in various ways and used in Molang expressions in effects.</br><h2></h2>

</br>One of the primary uses for emitting particles in the Bedrock engine is particles associated with entities, such as mobs. Examples can be when the Blaze flames-up during it's attack sequence, or the Evoker's spell effect while summoning Vexes. The goal is to allow binding and management of particle effects attached to entities.</br></br>The following concepts are important for managing particles with entities via .json:</br>- Effect lists. These live in the resource definition of the entity's .json, along with textures, etc. These list the effects available to the entity, with an internal entity name for the effect, and the associated effect to play.</br>- Locators. These live in the geometry files, and specify a location in the geometry. These locators can be associated with bones, and thus follow the bone as it animates.</br>- Animation controller-based particle management. Using the Animation Controller state machine concept, one can trigger both fire-and-forget and sustained particle effects</br>- Animation timeline particle management. As part of an animation .json for the entity, one can set up a timeline that triggers particle effects at specified times while the animation is playing. Note that an actual physical animation is not needed, just the animation .json structure.</br></br>Particles that are attached to entities are intrinsically tied to those entities. If the entity ceases to exist, the particle effects cease as well. Emitters follow either the entity, or a locator on the entity.</br><h1><p id="Animation Controller effects">Animation Controller effects</p></h1>
|
|
|
|
</br>Animation controllers can specify effect events for their states. This allows for a list of particle effects to be started upon state entry, and for those particle effects to be automatically ended when leaving the state. For particles that don't terminate (or don't terminate prior to state transition), they will be terminated at state exit.</br></br>The schema is:</br>"particle_effects": [</br> // array of effect events</br>]</br>The array syntax allows for more than one effect to be triggered on state entry.</br></br>An example is the Blaze's flame-up effect in it's animation controller. This animation controller has two states, "default" and "flaming". It transitions between the two via the "query.is_charged" entity flag check. When in the "flaming" state, the "charged_flames" effect is started (with no locator or initialization Molang expression), and is terminated when the state exits.</br><h2></h2>

</br>Another example for the Evoker's spell effect. This causes the evoker to start up two "spell" effects, using the locator for the left and right hand. The spell effects themselves are continuous, so the emitters will emit particles until the evoker is no longer casting a spell.</br><h2></h2>

</br>Particle events in the entity have the following properties:</br>- "effect" is the effect name specified in the entity's resource definition .json (the particle effect list), this specifies what particle effect to start/play</br>- "locator" is an optional parameter that maps to a locator of the same name in the resource definition. By specifying a locator, the emitter will follow that locator around as the entity animates, including orientation. If this is not specified, the effect will occur at the origin of the entity.</br>- "pre_effect_script" is an optional parameter that is a Molang expression run at emitter startup time. This can set up Molang variables, (for example 'particle color'), which can be then referred to inside the particle effect .json itself.</br><h2></h2>

The effect list is a list of internal effect names to actual particle effects bindings. This is the general form for adding particle effects to an entity. The effect list consists of a list of shorthand names to actual effects. All references to effects will use the shorthand name in animations and animation controllers. Note that this by itself will not cause the particle effect to appear.</br><h2></h2>

This is an example of the flame-up effect for the Blaze. Inside the "description" section of an entity's resource definition we can add a "particle_effects" section that has a name/value pair. The name is the name that other .json in the entity will refer to, while the value is the name of the particle effect, as specified in the particle effect's .json.</br><h2></h2>

https://aka.ms/MCParticlesPack</br></br>Examples of various particles can be found in the link above. These are examples of various stand-alone particle effects. The particle effects provided as part of the Minecraft installation are tuned to be used with the Minecraft game, and thus do not serve as good examples. Please refer to the examples in the pack to see various ways to utilize the particle system. </br></br>To invoke an example particle with the examples particles pack enabled, bring up the console, type "/particle name x y z" where "name" is the name of the particle effect, and x/y/z are the coordinates the particle appears at.</br></br>For example, "/particle minecraft:example_smoke_puff 0 5 0" will spawn a smoke puff at the origin of the world, 5 blocks up from the bottom of the world. </br>"/particle minecraft:example_smoke_puff ~ ~1 ~5" will create that smoke puff about 5 blocks away from the player.</br><h2>Example Effects</h2>
