i would really love to see a line shape or a rectangle for the particle emittor, since a circular one has uneven distibution towards the middle, and obviously takes much more place than needed for specific particles
i feel this would be really easy to implement, and would help particle creation by a lot
maybe just another setting in the particles menu like the option to select a line particle, just for the shape of the emitter instead of the particle

You know instead of shape you can go with image?
do you mean that they’re emitted in a line? It would be good to see some more options. You can just create objects with a limited lifetime in a line - by doing something like this
for a rectangle you could use scene variables to define the origin of an emitter and use ‘xfrom angleand distance’ and yfrom angle distance and emit at random points along the lines of the rectangle

Particles are emitted from the emitter position. You could put it at a random position on the line. It will work as long as no more than 1 particle is created per frame.

that option definitly works but for such a simple thing it would be much nicer to just have it as an option

i am talking about the position the particles spawn, not their shape
