Command Types

!effect

The !effect command is the most basic command in this set. It uses the syntax !effect (texture name/id) [side] Apply an effect by hovering your mouse over the side of a block then using the command. Particles will be emitted from that side. Alternatively, you can use [side] to specify which side you want it to be on.

!effect size

!effect size uses the syntax !effect size (size) [side]. It changes the size of each particle on the specified side. The default size is 1, minimum is 0.5 and maximum is 100.

!effect color

!effect color uses the syntax !effect color (brickcolor) [side]. It sets the color of the effect on the specified size. Only colors preset by roblox can be used.

!effect time

!effect time uses the syntax !effect time (secs) [side]. It changes for how long each particle lasts.

!effect speed
