Custom Effect Format

BattleArena has support for custom effects in a few places that are primarily cosmetic.

Particle

Name	Description	Type
particle	The name of the particle. See Particle.	<Particle>
speed	The speed of the particle.	<number>
count	The number of particles to display.	<number>
offset	The offset of the particle.	Position: <x,y,z>
data	The data for the particle.	Will vary for each particle (i.e. item_crack will use Item)

Firework

Name	Description	Type
firework-type	The type of firework to display. See FireworkEffect.Type.	<FireworkEffect.Type>
flicker	Whether the firework should flicker.	<true|false>
trail	Whether the firework should have a trail.	<true|false>
colors	The colors of the firework.	Color list: - [#<hex>...]
fade-colors	The colors the firework should fade to.	Color list: - [#<hex>...]

Freeze

Name	Description	Type
duration	How long to freeze the player for. See Time Format.	<Duration>
radius	In what radius players should be frozen for, if applicable.	<number>

Single-line Format

This is the most common use of effects in BattleArena, and follows a very similar format to that seen in the Action Reference. Note that options are separated using the semicolon (;).

Examples:

effects:
  - particle{particle=flame;speed=0.01;count=15;offset=0.3,0.7,0.3}
  - freeze{duration=5s}

Configuration Node Format

While less common, this format may be seen to represent effects as well. Rather than the effect properties existing on a single line, they are defined over a configuration node. Here is an example of how that may look:

my-effect:
  firework-type: ball
  flicker: true
  trail: false
  colors:
    - "#fcba03"
    - "#fcba03"
  fade-colors:
    - "#878378"
