Tips and tricks

Particles and SDF Font effects are also integrated into the modifier tag system.

Particles are prioritised when drawing.

That means you can for example fade out particle modifiers

and let normal modifiers take over when after fading out.

Particles example:

Chitter().add("0_0", "Maklore", "Hello [part, part_id : 0, part_colour1 : #ff0000]world![]");

For each unique particle group effects you must increase the part_id index in an ascending order.

Chitter().add("0_0", "Maklore", "[part, part_id : 0, part_colour1 : #ff0000]Hello[] [part, part_id : 1, part_colour1 : #00ff00]world![]");

SDF Font effects example:

Chitter().add("0_0", "Maklore", "[colour : #ffffff, sdf, sdf_core_colour : #5555ff, sdf_outline, sdf_outline_distance : 3, sdf_outline_colour : #ffffff]Hello World![]");

If you want to change the colour of effects outside the core body when using SDF

and have the colour of the core body be other than white,

include the tag colour : #ffffff, and then use the tag sdf_core_colour to set

the colour of the core body to the desired colour.

Since SDF colours multiplies with the existing colour,

it can behave in unintended ways if the base colour is not set to white.

You can also predefine modification tags in Chitter_premods script file.

Adding the string variable in the Example 1 below to the constructor function, makes it so you

can instead of writing the all of the tags in the string you can just use the variable name seen in Example 2.

Example 1:

SDF_white_outline = "colour : #ffffff, sdf, sdf_core_colour : #5555ff, sdf_outline, sdf_outline_distance : 3, sdf_outline_colour : #ffffff"

Example 2:

Chitter().add("0_0", "Maklore", "[SDF_white_outline]Hello World![]");
