[RMXP]Particle Weather

Particle Weather
Authors: GasolineWaltz
Version:3
Type: Particle Engine for weather effects
Key Term: Environment Add-on

Introduction

As of right now, this script does two things: creates particle weather and wind effects. Both of these functions are independent, which I think makes for pretty good control over the environment in your game.

Makes use of particles in the Graphics/Pictures/Particles folder

Demo



this is just to give you an idea... the screen cap software I used only records at 30fps, and makes the game seem a little choppy.. It looks soooo much better in game. Especially the rain, you can't really see the wind effects in the video cos of the low fps.

Instructions
Two things:

$game_map.p_weather(type, power, duration)
type: enter as a string. ex: 'rain'
power: number of particles to appear on screen,
duration: amount of time in frames weather takes to reach its max (buggy)

$game_map.p_wind(strength, duration, direction)
strength: enter as an array: [x power, ypower] (as of right now this number has to be a multiple of four)
duration: amount of frames between gusts
direction: enter as array w/ numbers:
[4= left; 6 = right, 2 = down; 6 = up]
note: x may be reversed... just mess around with it

#particle_struct at line 214 is h youow build new particles, I tried my best to lay them out in a readable fashion... it's pretty self explanatory, just make a new 'type' and then give that type a bunch of features.


Additional notes:

If you like this script, help out! It's still in its initial phase, I'm sure there are some bugs to work out... but that aside, more particles/new more realistic particles, effects etc... it could be a pretty cool thing

Compatibility
Seeing as this script just aliases #game_screen and #spriteset_map, it should work with most scripts...
