Explosions that have variations in them is something that will impress many builders, scripters, and players. I have ideas for different types, and I have some requests that explosions can be colored differently, and have new properties.
---Types--- One way to add variations is to have different types. I have listed and explained some ideas for different types. They don't effect an explosion's blast shape or even effect the physics whatsoever; only the looks of an explosion are changed.
"Blast" - This is the current explosion. This is also the default explosion type. It is simply flames shooting out in all directions.
"Spray" - This explosion sends flames shooting straight up and only straight up. This is useful for building explosions (when you want explosions to not be seen from outside); or for artillary explosions.
"Flash" - A very quick and sudden blast of fire. It desipates quickly right after it sets off. This can be used for smaller explosions, such as tossing a small potion, or a grenade.
"Mushroom" - Several particles will spawn in just the right position to create a mushroom cloud explosion. This is for those who love nukes.
---Colors---
All explosions on Roblox are red-orange. A request is that explosions can have a new color, such as a color3 color. This will allow many to create new looking effects; for example, such as brown explosions to make dirt look like it is flinging everywhere, green for plasma explosions, and black for dark magic explosions.
---New Properties---
Finally, I have a couple requests for new properties.
1) Explosion size: Explosions can't be changed in size, no matter how big you make the blast radius. Allowing us to change the size will allow us to make explosions that can look like it blew up a door, or take out an entire city.
2) Number of Particles: If we have a lot of explosions, the particle effects can lag computers that can't withstand them. Allowing us to change the number of particles (5 - 50) will allow us to reduce lag on our part.
This will bring a little more interactivity with our explosions, and will please a lot of people who want different explosions. |

Summarized and abridged.
1) Have different explosion looks
2) Have a Color3 property for explosion colors
3) Allow us to change particle count and explosion size (I forgot to mention that explosion sizes are from 4 studs - 600 studs). |
