🚀 Particle Attractor

(Unity open source plugin) - Package contains open source code.

Boost your UI effect to another level.

📄 Examples

Linear effect

Custom draw effect

💡 Idea

Develop particle attractor tool with a focus to the juicy specific situation in-game. For example, rewarding players or buying items in the shop, etc. The main reason for the tool is to give players better feelings from specific situations and from a game. The tool should be able to give non-technical department ability for easy use in workflow by a handy editor.

📌 Architecture

• DOTweenCore
  • Using DOTween as the main handler for particle attraction
• ParticleAttractor(Custom Inspector)
  • Editor site of a tool, handle an ability to creating attraction scenarios
• ParticleAttractor
  • Particle manager which handle performance and use pre-defined particle scenarios from the stage before
• ParticleAttractorHelper
  • The static class which contain supported methods like data getters or data structures
• ParticleAttractorPool
  • Shared obj pool with flyweight optimization on objects
• API
  • Prepared accessibility for easy implementation in the game

📝 List of features

• Ability setup effect without coding
• Similar to Particle System
• Two spawn modes (OneFrame,SeveralFrames)
• Ability draw particle path by hand
• Handy tool inspector
• Easy API to use

🗃️ API

Scenario API

Following functions are using for particle scenario.

• Transform_DoScale(Vector3 toScale, float duration)
  • Scale in duration time
• Transform_DoScale_UpDown(Vector3 toScaleUp,Vector3 toScaleDown, float duration)
  • ScaleUp and scaleDown in duration time (using for popup effect)
• Transform_DoMove(float duration)
  • Move obj from Source to Destination property in duration time
• Transform_DoMove_SetTarget(Transform toTransform, float duration)
  • Move obj from the source property to target transform in duration time
• Transform_DoRotate(Vector3 toRotate, float duration)
  • Sequence rotate obj into a rotate direction in duration time
• SpriteRenderer_DoFade(float toFade, float duration)
  • Sequence make a fade effect on sprite from actual value to fade value in duration time
  • fade value range 0 to 255
• Sequence_DoDelayInRange(Vector2 rangeFloatParam)
  • System sequence which does delay before the next sequence from scenario will be invoked
• Tweener Transform_DODrawMove(float duration)
  • Sequence move obj across hand defined path

Particle Attractor API

Particle Attractor API is powered by Builder Patter for universal and easy usability.

• SetSourceTransform( Transform source )
• SetDestinationTransform( Transform destination )
• SetSpawnImage( Sprite image )
• SetSpawnAmount( int amount )
• InvokeSpawn()
• InvokeSafeSpawn()
  • Attractor check own state, if should be invoked
• InvokeSafeSpawn(Transform sourcePosition)
• Attractor check own state, if should be invoked
  • sourceTransform used as a default source of particle spawn
• SetAttractorSetupState( bool value)
  • Setup if attractor is configured and ready for Invoke → means this config will be used by next spawn
  • Used in special cases when Invoke is called from another place then config
• SetAsActive()
  • Means currently PA has an active process
• SetAsDeactivated()
  • Means currently PA has not active process & is ready for use
