particle offsets not working

[DampfWaffel]

Hello,
i've experienced some Bugs with the play/show effect

but it seems the when im discover one, im not able to Reproduce it every time.

first, the offset are not working. its spawn just a single point at the given loaction and the loading time for offsets are huge.
second, when i want more particles e.g play 10 firework spark ... it just do nothing or throw an error.
third, i think the endRod Particle is missing.

Steps to Reproduce

first, play firework spark with offset of 100, 40, 100 and speed 0 on player to player
second, play 10 firework spark on player to player

Skript's effect for particles does not have an offset option:
http://skriptlang.github.io/Skript/effects.html#EffVisualEffect

My guess is you are using an add-on for this effect

ah that was quick,
i found this offset at the SkriptHub Docs.

Line 1464 in 14f267c

area_expression: [with [offset of %number%, %number%(,| and) %number%][[and ]speed %number%]]

and when i'm changing the speed it applies to the particle

Interesting, I didn't know that existed.
I'll mark this as needs investigating.

I can't test but it think this is not a bug but an syntax misperception.

There is a difference between visual effects and particles.

In the syntax u write "on player" so skript thinks u want to play a visual effect from the entity player.
so like love hearts of a dog. But some effects are bound to specific entitys and a player has no effect of firework spark. So i think the parser parses the code for the location but doesn't register that its using now a location instead of an entity and since play on has no propertys for offset it doesn't work.

In short terms try this syntax:

play firework spark with offset of 100, 40, 100 and speed 0 at location of player to player

play 10 firework spark at location of player to player
