general information

• BINACJBOParticle.oni is level specific. (It can be found in edition/GameDataFolder/levelXX_... )
• See HERE if you don't know how to convert an oni file into XML and vice versa.
• See HERE if you are searching for more general information such as how to handle object coordinates.

BSL support

• http://ssg.oni2.net/commands.htm#dev-p3

following command can kill different particle with same tag at once but only one of each, so don't double spawn

• particle particle_name kill (kill counts also as die event)

following command reset particle

• particle particle_name reset

following commands depend on particle events

particle particle_name update	p3_callevent particle_name 0
particle particle_name pulse	p3_callevent particle_name 1
particle particle_name start	p3_callevent particle_name 2
particle particle_name stop	p3_callevent particle_name 3
particle particle_name bgfx_start	p3_callevent particle_name 4
particle particle_name bgfx_stop	p3_callevent particle_name 5
particle particle_name hit_wall	p3_callevent particle_name 6
particle particle_name hit_char	p3_callevent particle_name 7
particle particle_name lifetime	p3_callevent particle_name 8
particle particle_name explode	p3_callevent particle_name 9
particle particle_name brokenlink	p3_callevent particle_name 10
particle particle_name create (create counts also as update event)	p3_callevent particle_name 11
particle particle_name die	p3_callevent particle_name 12
particle particle_name newattractor	p3_callevent particle_name 13
particle particle_name delay_start	p3_callevent particle_name 14
particle particle_name delay_stop	p3_callevent particle_name 15

note about wannabe-damaging particle

Damaging particles would make characters "flinch" no matter how little the damage. So, particle are responsible for visualizing the danger and a trigger volume for dealing the damage.

particle auto1fire start
### TV inside function
func void fire_damage(string ai_name)
{
	dprint fire_hurt_konoko
	### ignore the "fire_hurt_konoko"
	### all characters get damage because the TV is registered for all teams (255)
	### ps: this damage cannot be absorbed by a shield
	chr_poison (ai_name, 5, 30, 30);
}
