HOW IT WORKS:<\/h3>\n

With this editor, you can create complex explosions that can be used for enemies or the player when they die.
Explosions are a collection of small explosions, which can be either animated sprite effects or particle effects. You can mix the two if you like.<\/p>\n

PROPERTIES:<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

EXPLOSION COLUMN<\/h5>\n

\"\"\u00a0New explosion<\/strong> button: create a new explosion.
\"\"\u00a0Delete explosion<\/strong> button: delete the selected explosion.
\"\"\u00a0Rename <\/strong>button: rename the selected explosion.
\"\" Duplicate<\/strong> button: duplicate the selected explosion.<\/p>\n

ELEMENTS COLUMN<\/h5>\n

An explosion is made of one or several elements. Elements can be of three different types: sprite<\/strong>, particle system<\/strong> and light elements.<\/strong>
Sprite is an animated sprite, with several frames on one picture (see creating animated sprites<\/a>), saved in Assets\/Particles<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0New Sprite element<\/strong> button: add a new sprite element.
\"\"\u00a0New particle system element<\/strong> button: add a new particle element.
\"\" New light element<\/strong> button: add a new light element.
\"\" Duplicate<\/strong> button: duplicate the selected element.<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0Delete element<\/strong> button: delete the selected element.
\"\"\u00a0Rename element<\/strong> button: rename the selected element.
\"\" \"\"\u00a0Move up \/ Down<\/strong> buttons: you can reorder the elements with the up and down arrows. Order can be important because it can change the rendering order.
\"\"\u00a0Click on an element to select it.
\"\"\u00a0eye<\/strong>: the eye allows to hide or unhide an element in the preview window.<\/p>\n
