TE FIREFIELD

TE_FIREFIELD

Spawns randomly positioned sprites in a cube or on a square plane.

• Vector pos Center point of the effect
• uint16 radius Size of the cube or square (distance from center point to a side)
• string sprite Sprite to display (alpha transparency)
• uint8 count Number of sprites to spawn
• uint8 flags Combinable options:

1 : All sprites will drift upwards
2 : 50% of the sprites will drift upwards
4 : Loop sprites at 15fps instead of playing one cycle stretched to fit the "life" time
8 : Display sprites at 50% opacity
16 : Spawn sprites on a flat plane instead of in cube

• uint8 life Time to display sprites (seconds * 0.1 +/- some random amount)
