Whether you're a mythological dragon, an elemental succubus or just someone with bad breath, or someone with bad breath who had too many breathables, this is the product right for you!
The elemental breath consists of two elements in one:
- Fire, which melts the ice, is focused on quick and strong damage over time. You can deliver a short but strong burst of damage and set up hazards in the environment quickly.
- Ice, which extinguishes fire. It is focused on building up structures, but it can last longer than fire. It deals little damage over an extended period of time under prolonged contact, but it will slow down (and eventually freeze) your opposition's movement if you're persistent enough! However, freezing for too long may make your ice break, dealing a great deal of damage to anyone frozen in the ice.
Both elements should should work in LLCS (damage enabled sims) and combat systems that work with physical prim impacts (such as the roleplay combat system DCS). Most RP systems have at least some detection of such damage systems.
Economy has been a priority throughout the design of the effects. It also includes a (toggleable) typing effect depending on the element you are using, making it work as a typer.
Although it isn't possible to make it not slow down every computer available out there, it should be relatively light by itself.
NOTE: This system has been built as a "Do It Yourself" kit, meaning you need to know some basic modding knowledge (such as editing object inventory or linking). If you don't know how to do this, please make sure you have someone who can help you setting it up.
However, an installation isn't required per-se. It is given as an option to make the breath interact with your avatar. An API is provided for avatars working under chat commands, which you can setup easily with a notecard.
Currently, the Elemental Breath works with the classic floppy jaw system and has an incorporated config notecard for Kemono avatars.
Should you want any other avatar, make sure you learn their API or ask their creators. You are more than welcome to share configuration notecards, as that's what they were made for!
- Interactive fire and ice breaths, with particle effects and sounds.
- Burn prim spots, objects and avatars, causing damage on them
- Build up ice walls, slow down/freeze objects and avatars
- Beautifully designed with efficiency in mind.
The nicest fire (and ice!) breather in SL.
I'm a li'l salamander critter that uses the Orange Snaggletooth Kobold, and I've tried lots of different breath attacks to finish my look. They've either been a blob of hideous particles, with the first five seconds or so vomiting grey squares, or they've been a massive invisible cone stuck to my face that awkwardly materializes. This item is SO much better.
The effect itself is lovely. You don't just barf up a generic texture, everything moving the same speed. The sparks/snow trails and falls while the cloud billows out. The sound is a relatively gentle whoosh or wind howl, so it sears the ground, not your ears.
The animation for this is great. If you're humanoid, you throw your head forward to start puking hell, and when you stop, you step back and wipe the napalm off your mouth. If you're not humanoid, you can turn the animation off. There's a command to do a burst without mouselook so you can see how awesome you look. Aiming up or down will change the animation accordingly. If you're savvy enough to configure it to automatically open/close your mouth, it adds hugely to the effect.
If you breathe frost on something long enough, a nicely made mesh ice chunk forms on it, gives off small clouds of vapor, and makes quiet cracking sounds. If you breathe on it long enough, it'll break apart into chunks. If you breathe on the ground, a mound of ice you can stand on grows upward. It can get very tall before it finally crumbles.
If you're using it only for the effects, you can use this on no-rez land and it seems to detect that and doesn't create the impact prims, so you don't get spammed with "can't rez mind bullet" notices, but you still get your lovely cloud of fire/frost.
Does 5/5 mean it's perfect? No. The fire particles coming off patches seem kind of an afterthought after how nice everything else is, and if you're small like me the start of the cone is kind of big compared to your face. But it's so well done it deserves all five, and every L$ spent.
Chill you hot head!
This is a simple but lovely magic attack as the bottom review said. The particles are pretty and not laggy at all, the meshes on the ice are amazing! The fact that the ice can break is pretty damn awesome, makes a cool sound as well. Has a typing particle too that is sweet! I suggest everyone to buy this.
A Simple But Beautiful Attack
It was unfortunate to see that this item had not received any reviews after purchasing it. I had to make a review of my own!
The general design of the blast looks really nice on both fire and ice, easy to switch between the two via a command. The ice breath actually freezes people in blocks of ice as well as creating chunks of ice on objects that will extend the more you freeze them. The fire has a nice effect that ignites people and also catches objects on fire. When you tilt your head in mouselook and then shoot then an appropriate animation is played, based on how high you are aiming.
In conclusion, I am glad that I have found this product, it is a shame that it appears to have been missed by others.
