Sequence Syntax
Sequence Syntax is an incredibly useful feature where effect particles change colors, transparency, etc., throughout their lifespan. It can be done by using “->” symbols in your commands. (Example: !effect brightness 1-> 0.5-> 0-> 1)

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 particles 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
!effect speed uses the syntax !effect speed (studs per sec) [side]. It changes how quick each particle moves.
!effect spread
!effect spread uses the syntax !effect spread (angle) [side]. It changes how far apart each particle is.
!effect amount
!effect amount uses the syntax !effect amount (amount) [side]. It changes how many particles spawn.
!effect transparency
!effect transparency uses the syntax !effect transparency (amount) [side]. It changes how transparent the particles are.
!effect fade
!effect fade uses the syntax !effect fade (amount) [side]. It sets the time it takes for the particles to fade in and out. Set (amount) to 1 for it to spend 50% of its time fading in/out. (amount) has a minimum of 0 and a maximum of 1.
!effect spin
!effect spin uses the syntax !effect spin (amount) [side]. (amount) can be positive or negative, which decides the direction/speed the particles will spin.
!effect force
!effect force uses the syntax !effect force (x) (y) (z) [side]. It makes the particles move in the direction of the force.
!effect relative
!effect relative uses the syntax !effect relative on/off. It makes the particles locked to the block it’s on. This only makes a visible difference when the block is a movable.
!effect brightness
!effect brightness uses the syntax !effect brightness (amount) [side]. It sets the amount of light that it requires to be seen, if set to 0 it will need light to be seen, but if set to 1 it will not need light to be seen.
!effect offset
!effect offset uses the syntax !effect offset (amount) [side]. It allows the particles to be able to be seen over blocks, if set to 0 it will hide under blocks, but if set to 1 it will appear over blocks.
!effect drag
!effect drag uses the syntax !effect drag (amount) [side]. It makes the particles gradually slow down over time.
!effect show
!effect show uses the syntax !effect show [side]. It shows the effect’s properties in a text box.
