## Description
Creates a line of particles from the caster to the targeted entity or location. Extension of the [Particle Effect](/skills/effects/particles).
Creates a line of particles from the caster to the targeted entity or location.
A list of particle types can be found [here](/skills/effects/particles/types).
## Attributes
This effect extends the general [Particle Effect](/skills/effects/particles) and uses all attributes from it.
Particle attributes are “per point” in this effect, so keeping 'amount' low is recommended.
| Attribute | Alias | Description | Default Value |
| --------------- | -------- | --------------------------------------------------- | ------------- |
| distanceBetween | db | The distance between each point in the line | 0.25 |
| startYOffset | syo | Offset Y location of the starting point of the line | 0 |
| targetYOffset | tyo | Offset Y location of the target point of the line | 0 |
| fromOrigin | fo | Whether to draw the line from the origin instead | false |
| xSpread | xs | Spread of particles on the x axis | 0 |
| ySpread | ys | Spread of particles on the y axis | 0 |
| zSpread | zs | Spread of particles on the z axis | 0 |
| zigzag | zz | Whether to draw the line to the target as a zigzag | false |
| zigzags | zzs | Amount of zigzags when using the zigzag option | 10 |
| zigzagOffset | zzo | Offset of each zigzag | 0.2 |
| maxdistance | | The maximum distance the line can reach | 256 |
| Attribute | Aliases | Description | Default |

## Examples
Example would draw a beam of fire from the origin to the target.
