Chryfi's particle system extension

Besides all that cool stuff in the list above, Chryfi worked for more than 3 months adding a lot of mind blowing features to the particle system. All of these additions below are Chryfi's outstanding work:

• Added variables variable.particle_speed.length, variable.particle_speed.x, variable.particle_speed.y and variable.particle_speed.z. Could be used for motionblur like effect.
• Added Сamera facing mode button to Appearance section
• Added more options to Local space section:
  • Relative direction: when enabled, it rotates the direction vector when spawning according to the rotation of the emitter/body part. Example: make particles shoot out of a body part like blood.
  • Relative acceleration: when enabled, it rotates the acceleration vector throughout the whole lifetime of a particle according to the body part's local rotation.
  • Gravity: when enabled, it vertically accelerates every particle by -9.81 which won't be affected by the local acceleration.
• Added more options to Collision section:
  • Realistic collision: the direction vector will be mirrored on collision. Example: together with gravity particles can now bounce realistically like a bouncy rubber ball.
  • Random direction: this randomizes the direction on collision. It can be used with realistic collision on or off. It doesn't affect the speed, it only changes the direction. When bounciness is 0 this still changes the direction just without reflecting on the surface. This could be used for force fields.
    • Preserve energy: when bounciness is 0 and random bounciness is not 0, an enabled preserve energy would ignore that the vector component responsible for colliding will be 0. Enabled preserve energy will make the particles fast.
  • Split particles: this splits the particles into a given amount on impact. Their speed will change according to the number of splits e.g. 4 splits => speed / 4.
  • Split particles speed threshold: this is the speed threshold for activating the split process.
  • Damping: reduce the velocity of the particles on impact. Valid range 0..1, 1 being the highest damping (1 reduces the velocity completely).
  • Random damping: randomize the damping. Values are 0..1. Example: damping of 1.0 and random damping of 0.5 means the damping will vary between 0.5 and 1.5.
  • Change texture/appearance on collision.
  • Change tint and lighting on collision.
  • Expire on impact delay: would be also useful for texture on impact. It can be used with Molang expressions like math.random(), negative values will be turned into positive values.
  • Collision with entity's hitboxes.
  • Collision with entity pseudo momentum.
