(nicochulo2) Add particles to shot entity

[frosty vapor]

So, I'm coding an item that'll shoot items into the air (as entities, so dropped_items) and I was wondering if there is some simple way to add particles to them. So, if I have a simple shoot command like

- shoot <entity[dropped_item].with[item=diamond]> origin:<player> shooter:<player> speed:1

I was wondering how I'd go about adding particles to that dropped item during its travel time

Hi I'm AutoThreadBot! Don't mind me, I'll just be adding the helper team to this thread so they can see it. A human will get to you soon.

checking the Shoot command syntax there's a possibility to add a script for when the entity lands but nowhere do I see any option for its travel time

there is not no, you can flag your entity once it's landed and use a while command to play your particles

ie

- shoot ent script:proj_script
- while ent has no landed flag:
  - play particles

proj_script:
- flag shot entity with landed flag```

for syntax ^

(You can also switch this around and flag your entity when shot & remove the flag on landing, doesn't really matter, whatever you prefer)

let me see

quite odd

the landing script runs as soon as the entity is launched instead XD

so honestly I just want to give up on it, I think I'll just close it

thx for the assistance anyways, though, @sacred dragon
