Polygon
Description
The Polygon meta-mechanic can execute other skills in a polygon-shaped pattern. The exact number of vertices, the scale, the duration and other such elements of the polygon itself can be tweaked via the attributes below.
Attributes
| Attribute | Aliases | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| onPointSkill | onPoint, oP | Meta-Skill executed at every vertex | |
| onStarSkill | onStar, oS | Meta-Skill executed at the "start of the "star" of the polygon, aka the figure formed inside of the polygon by tweaking the "skip" parameter | |
| onEdgeSkill | onEdge, oE | Meta-Skill executed on the segments that connects the vertices | |
| onHitEntitySkill | onHitEntity, ohe, oh | Meta-Skill executed when the polygon hits an entity. Only triggered once per entity inside the polygon area for every execution of the polygon mechanic | |
| Points | p | The amount of vertices of the polygon | 32 |
| Duration | d | The amount of ticks the polygon should take to fully form. A value of 0 creates a polygon instantly | 0 |
| DistanceBetween | distance, density, db | The distance between points in the polygon | 0.1 |
| Scale | size, s | The scale of the polygon | 1 |
| Skip | star, sv | The number of points to skip for star-like shapes | 2 |
| xOffset | xo, x | The offset on the X axis | 0 |
| yOffset | yo, y | The offset on the Y axis | 0 |
| zOffset | zo, z | The offset on the Z axis | 0 |
| targetxoffset | tx, txo | Target X-axis offset | 0 |
| targetyoffset | ty, tyo | Target Y-axis offset | 0 |
| targetzoffset | tz, tzo | Target Z-axis offset | 0 |
| ForwardOffset | foffset, fo | The Forward offset | 0 |
| Pitch | The pitch rotation | 0 | |
| Yaw | The yaw rotation | 0 | |
| Roll | The roll rotation | 0 | |
| Radius | r | The hit radius | 1 |
| Rotation | rot | The rotation of the polygon, in the x,y,z format. Same as using pitch/yaw/roll | 0,0,0 |
| MatchCasterDirection | matchPlayerDirection, matchDirection, mcd, mpd, md, direction | Matches the direction of the polygon to the caster's facing direction | true |
| directiontowardstarget | dtt | Whether the yaw/pitch should be calculated so that the drawn shape aims to the target | false |
| FromOrigin | If the polygon should start in the origin of the metaskill | false | |
| HitConditions | conditions, cond, c, oC, hC | List of Inline Conditions that an entity must met to be hit by the polygon mechanic |
