ParticleEmitter.js v0.1.2 TsukimiLast updated: 2018/07/29: add demo sample project Introduction PIXI has particles inside but hard to use in RMMV interface. This plugin provide a simple interface to make particle systems. Features - Simple Creating and setting parameters of PIXI.particles.Emitter. Screenshots Demo download my demo project from here! How to Use Preparation: (below are the steps in the video) 1. first, make your desire particle emitter in the under website, and download the config file(.json). https://pixijs.io/pixi-particles-editor/ ** First scroll down and set Rederer to Canvas2D to see correct visual effects !! This site use wrong method in WebGL mode. It will auto turn to WebGL mode if your game uses WebGL. 2. create a folder named "particles" inside data/ and put config file inside it 3. create a folder named "particles" inside img/ and put particle image file inside it 4. open plugin manager, turn plugin on and write names of config file (in data/particles/) into it. The preparation is done. With only one command(createPEmitter), you can make the emitter show up in the game! ■■■ Create/Adjust emitter by plugin command: Spoiler: plugin command *** You can brief all "PEmitter" to "PE" for short *** createPEmitter {id} {config} {eventId} {imageNames ...} create a particle emitter. id: id of this controller. choose a name you like! config: config name download from the website (.json no need) eventId: the event which this emitter chase -1：player、0：this event、1~：event# x：no event, on screen；screen：on screen (only on current map) imageNames: image name inside img/particles/. ex: createPEmitter star#1 starEmitter x star1 star2 Create an emitter named star#1, config is starEmitter.json, position based on screen. Images are star1.png & star2.png. pausePEmitter {id} pause emitting. resumePEmitter {id} resume emitting. stopPEmitter {id} stop emitter and delete after all particle i dead. deletePEmitter {id} delete emitter and all particles immediately. setPEmitterPos {id} {x} {y} set emitter (relative) position to (x,y). Besides numbers, you can also set these to x & y: Spoiler x: Don't change from current parameter value ex：x v : value of Game Variable ex：v15 r ~ : Random value between #1 and #2. ex：r30~45 #1 and #2 can also be variables. ex: setPEmitterPos star#1 10 x set emitter star#1's x coordinate to 10. (y doesn't change) movePEmitterPos {id} {x} {y} {duration} (easingFunction) move emitter (relative) position to (x,y) by {duration} frame. input→x: don't move easingFunction: move easing functions at https://easings.net/ will be 'linear' if not specified ex: movePEmitterPos star#1 -10 20 60 easeOutBounce move emitter star#1 to (-10,20) in 60 frames, with bouncing animation. setPEmitterZ {id} {z} set emitter Z layer. z layer： 0 : lower tile 1 : lower character 3 : character 4 : upper tile 5 : upper character 6 : shadow of airship 7 : Balloon 8 : animation 9 : map destination (white rectangle) ex: setPEmitterZ star#1 5 set emitter star#1 z-layer to upper character. setPEmitterAsLocal {id} {true/false} create particle to event relative position instead of to the map. （if true, event move right -> all particle move right） setPEmitterStaticToPlayer {id} {true/false} should emitter set to player(-1) remain exist after map transition.(true -> exist) *Only effect on emitter set to player. Advanced moving： Spoiler: advanced moving （Q：Queue、R：Routine） movePEmitterPosQ {id} {x} {y} {duration} (easingFunction) Add move command to move queue. Will start next move after last move is finish. ex: movePEmitterPosQ star#1 0 20 60 easeOutBounce movePEmitterPosQ star#1 20 x 30 easeInBounce Move to (0,20) in 60f then move to (20,20) in 30f. movePEmitterPosQR {id} {x} {y} {duration} (easingFunction) Add move command to routine move queue. will repeat moving command in routine move queue. ex: movePEmitterPosQR star#1 -20 20 30 movePEmitterPosQR star#1 20 20 30 movePEmitterPosQR star#1 20 -20 30 movePEmitterPosQR star#1 -20 -20 30 (-20,20)→(20,20)→(20,-20)→(-20,-20)→(-20,20)→… clearPEmitterPosQ {id} clear move queue. clearPEmitterPosQR {id} clear routine move queue. ■■■ Create/Adjust emitter by Map/Event tags(notes): Spoiler: tags Map： Same as createPEmitter. However, eventId will be set to screen. ex： Same as setPEmitterPos. Same as setPEmitterZ. Same as movePEmitterPosQR. event： Same as createPEmitter. However, eventId will be set to this event. ex： Same as setPEmitterPos. Same as setPEmitterZ. Same as setPEmitterPosAsLocal. Same as movePEmitterPosQR.

Hello Tsukimi-neko, can you give some news? Your script is so precious to me! I can't find an equivalent. With the new command plugins from MZ it could be powerful!

Unfortunately, if you go on Tsukimi profile you'll see: Last seen Oct 1, 2020
I tried to search it on japanese forums, without results.
I need him for propose some improvements but... until it comes back ...

@DarkSearinox92 I know, I hope he gets a notification, as an encouragement.

Does anyone know if it's possible to use easing formulas on the opacity? Kind of whack that you can seemingly only spawn something in suddenly or despawn something suddenly.

I have pivoo's particle core working with FOSSIL. Different interface, same underlying library.

Does pivoo's work above pictures? Like putting them on a layer above images?
I can't find a way to make it work above pictures anywhere and posting the pictures with emitters is a no go - I tried it but the pictures I use are many, change in scale and position, and in general have certain attributes that make it quite hard to work with emitters.

If not, is there any way anyone knows how to do that? I simply need a way to make the particles occupy like the top layer in pictures, like a hud would.

I've looked into the js and it seems it's manipulating the Game_Map object, whereas the pictures are manipulating the Game_Screen object. Other plugins that put stuff way above everything else (like huds) are manipulating the Scene_Map object.

I've no idea how to proceed though. It seems that the particle emitters deliberately use the map layers, which are below everything else, like images, huds, minilabels, whatever. There must be a way to place it above pictures, since battlers for example are pictures that are placed below animations. I just don't know how xD

I'm revisiting this plugin, and I know it's been awhile since MZ came out and people probably moved on, but I'm coming up against the problem of particles sort of lagging behind the camera? Like if I move in a direction, the particles will bunch up in that direction a little bit before stabilizing once the camera is moving at a consistent pace. Has anyone else had this problem?
