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
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
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
