TE_SPRITETRAIL

Spawns sprites along a line or from a single point. Sprites collide with the world, fall to the ground, and eventually fadeout.

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Vector	start	Spawn line start
Vector	end	Spawn line end (can be same as start)
string	sprite	Sprite to display
uint8	count	Number of sprites to spawn
uint8	life	Time to wait before fading out (seconds * 0.1)
uint8	scale	Sprite scale * 0.1
uint8	speed	Initial speed (direction = start -> end). Has no effect if the start and end points are the same.
uint8	speedNoise	Amount to randomize speed and direction
