v1.3.0 - Animation Ordering and Bezier Curves 7 days, 21 hours and 32 minutes ago
Changelog
* Added Bezier curves.
[a] [bezier] curve from [start] %vector/entity/location% to [end] %vector/entity/location% (with|using) control point[s] %vectors/entities/locations%
* Added basic ordering for animations. More orderings coming later.
set the animation order of %shapes% to (default|lowest-to-highest|highest-to-lowest)
* Some updates to error handling to avoid console spam if you mess up.
* Fixed a few little bugs with nullability.
Syntax
Syntax is available on SkUnity and SkriptHub!

v1.2.0 - Animations and Bug Fixes 166 days, 13 hours and 17 minutes ago
Changelog
* Allowed omitting the first shape in
rotate shape drawn shape...
* Added some basic animation for shapes. Draws a shape over a time period in the order its points are calculated. Future updates will likely add more options for animation order.
draw [an] (animation [of] [the]|animated) shape[s] [of] %shapes% [%-directions% %-locations/entities%] [to %-players%] over %timespan%
* Fixed issue where the particle density setter was the inverse of what it should have been. this is a breaking change!
* Some behind-the-scenes particle utilities updates, thanks shane.
* Allowed more lee-way in particle motion names.
* Fixed a few little bugs with nullability.

v1.1.1 - Small Improvements 223 days and 7 hours ago
Only minor changes this time. Support for icospheres and custom shapes (shapes made of other shapes and/or individual points) will be coming in 1.2.0.
Changelog
* Fixed NPEs when using debug verbosity
* Added lang entries for various types
* Fixed a conflict between SkBee's
draw effect and
draw shapes
* Made SecParticle much safer and better at erroring (thanks @ShaneBeee)
Breaking Changes:
My apologies for this change, but it was the only way to resolve a collision issue between the draw particle and draw shape effects when using variables.
The draw shape effect section now requires the use of the keyword
shape to avoid conflicts:
[sync[hronously]] draw [the] shape[s] [of] %shapes% [%-directions% %-locations/entities%] [to %-players%]",
draw [the] shape [of] %shapes% [%-directions% %-locations/entities%] [to %-players%] for [duration] %timespan% [with (delay|refresh [rate]) [of] %-timespan%]"

Skript-Particle is intended to provide syntax for creating complex shapes with particles. Competent and powerful particle syntaxes exist in addons like SkBee, but creating shapes requires a lot more effort and know-how. They're also inherently slower and less performant than Java, even without considering the usual need to re-calculate the shape each time it's drawn.
The goal for Skript-Particle is to provide easy-to-use, flexible, and powerful syntax to create particle shapes. The basic structure is a set of various shapes, like circles, lines, polygons, and more. These shapes are relative to a center point and aren't positioned anywhere specific. The drawing syntax takes a set of shapes and a location and draws all the shapes relative to that location. This allows the definition of a bunch of shapes that only need to be defined once and can then be drawn in many places and in many rotations. Since shapes can be rotated as a group, it's also very simple to change the rotation and orientation of your shapes with a single line.
Syntax is available on skUnity.

Here's some example code:
command /magic:
trigger:
set {_shapes::outer-circle} to a circle of radius 2.225
set {_shapes::inner-circle} to a circle of radius 2
set {_shapes::tiny-circle} to a circle of radius 0.875
set {_shapes::triangle-1} to a triangle with radius 2
set {_shapes::triangle-2} to a triangle with radius 2
rotate shapes {_shapes::triangle-2} around y axis by 60 degrees
set particle of {_shapes::*} to electric spark particle
loop 200 times:
set {_view} to vector from yaw player's yaw and pitch player's pitch
set {_yaw} to yaw of {_view}
# figure out the rotation needed to rotate the shape
set {_rotation} to rotation from vector(0, 1, 0) to {_view}
draw the shapes {_shapes::*} at player's eye location ~ {_view}:
# only happens for this draw call, the original shape is not modified
# note that this is called once for each shape, hence `drawn shape` and not `drawn shapes`
rotate shape drawn shape by {_rotation}
# the shape takes the shortest path to rotate to the desired rotation, but that causes it to appear to rotate as we turn.
# so we'll correct for it by rotating the shape around the y axis by the yaw of the player
rotate shape drawn shape around relative y axis by -1 * {_yaw}
