Gamemaker Particle Visualizer is a tool made to preview Gamemaker Particles and easily import them into your projects.

While particles are a very good and efficient way to make effects, making them can be very tiring, having to recompile the game project every time a change has to be tested, this tool should help save time on everyone struggling with this problem.

Source code: https://github.com/ElectroDev1/Gamemaker-Particle-Visualizer

Current version: 1.2.4

HOW TO USE

1. Import the script (Tools > Import Local Package> select GPV_scripts.yymps in the tool's folder)

2. In the object's create event create the particle system.

This doesn't necessarily have to be in the same object and can be handled in any way you like, the script just needs to be able to access the variable holding it.

The functions for this is variable = part_system_create();

METHOD 1

1. Click on the copy script button in GPV

2. Paste the script in your code and save it to the type variable

METHOD 2

1. Save your .GPV file in your game's Included Files (can be accessed from the three lines button at the top-right in GMS2)

2. Use the script loadParticleType and set the file's name (extension included) and assign it to a variable

And with this you're done, the particle is now saved and you can use emitters to get your particle up and running.
