How do I fade ENTITIES (not enemies) to smoke? I would love to do this on an entity that I want to fade to smoke when a player looks at it.

Thanks.

you can make a small smoke puff Particle system, put an area at the object, and have a script run to disable the entity and "CreateParticleSystemAtEntity" on the area where the entity is/was... There's no way to do it like a hallucination of an enemy though.

Will try that out, thanks, but do you know which particle I should use? (There's a bunch of them -.-) Or do I have to do some "trial and error" type stuff?

May I ask which entity you are using? And I'm not sure. go through each. for what you're looking for, you may need to make a particle (lol I've been making particles non-stop this week XD Isn't too hard when you get the hang of it. If you need any help with it, let me know.

And wait...I can create my own particles? o.O I didn't know that was possible :p

Just use the ParticleEditor.exe in the main folder and use materials. (.mat) again, let me know if you have any issues!

Ohhh right, I forgot there was a particle editor too xD haha and thanks man, I'll contact you if I need help with particles (if I ever make one :p )

In the model editor you would specify the particle system that gets created upon breaking and ignore broken entity and break sound. Then you could use SetPropHealth to remove all of its health.
