What is Emit Your Particles?

Emit Your Particles is an open sourced 2D particle emitter for your GUIs! It’s user friendly while also being powerful at the same time. Many of the features on a 3D particle emitter exist on a EmitYourParticles emitter.

Features

Here are some things you can do:

  • Easily transition properties over lifetime
  • Change rate, speed, drag, acceleration, and more.
  • Easily edit the particle emitter after it has been created.
  • Simple construction.
  • Strictly typed

Examples

quick note: the FPS of the gifs dont reflect the ingame FPS. ingame FPS was 60 for both.

Usage

Want to know how to use it? Visit the documentation to see the full list of methods and properties, as well as examples.

Todo

Further development of this module is dependent mainly on the reception. I have features in mind. Please comment improvements or other things you would like to see. Here are some polls to help me out:

Do you use Wally?

  • Yes
  • No

Before looking at the next poll, note planned features include:

  • A plugin for previewing the particles
  • Creating Emitters from a 3D particle emitter
  • Particle caching system so the emitter doesn’t have to Instance:Clone() every time its creating a new particle

Would you like to see more features in the future?

  • I don’t see myself using this that much in the future.
  • That would be cool.
  • Yes, more features would benefit me!

Any performance issues?

In order to help optimizations, please state your specs and FPS in a comment or DM me.


If you made it this far, thank you for reading! :+1:
I’d like to reiterate that feedback is much appreciated.

Is the idea that this is just a regular particle emitter except with better performance?

#3

No, it’s a particle emitter specifically for GUIs.

Does this also work on a bilboardGui?

Hey, I was wondering if you could implement a method that lets you directly import a ParticleEmitter to a EYP emitter.

One more thing, how would I go about using a ColorSequence with these 2d particles for an ImageLabel’s image colour. I wanna be able to make it flow from red to yellow using a ParticleEmitter.Color but I cannot seem to get it working, here’s what I’m using:

local ParticleEffect: ParticleEmitter = ClientShop.requestCosmetic(category, itemId)
			
PreviewFrame.Particle.Image = ParticleEffect.Texture
			
local AuraPreview = EmitYourParticles.newEmitter(PreviewFrame)
AuraPreview:SetEmitterParticle(PreviewFrame.Particle)
AuraPreview:SetEmitterRate(ParticleEffect.Rate)
AuraPreview:SetSpeed(ParticleEffect.Speed.Min * 10, ParticleEffect.Speed.Max * 10)
AuraPreview:SetRotationSpeed(ParticleEffect.RotSpeed.Min / 360, ParticleEffect.RotSpeed.Max / 360)
AuraPreview:SetRotation(ParticleEffect.Rotation.Min, ParticleEffect.Rotation.Max)
AuraPreview:SetLifetime(ParticleEffect.Lifetime.Min, ParticleEffect.Lifetime.Max)
AuraPreview:SetSpreadAngle(ParticleEffect.SpreadAngle.X, ParticleEffect.SpreadAngle.Y)
AuraPreview:SetAcceleration(Vector2.new(ParticleEffect.Acceleration.X * 10, ParticleEffect.Acceleration.Y * -10))
AuraPreview:SetDrag(ParticleEffect.Drag)
AuraPreview:SetScale(ParticleEffect.Size)
AuraPreview:SetPropertyTransition("ImageTransparency", ParticleEffect.Transparency)
AuraPreview:SetPropertyTransition("ImageColor3", ParticleEffect.Color)
