How do i use particles??? - Henriksen - 03-17-2011
Hi.
Im making a custom story and i would like to make a cave in. But when it happends its supposed to come smoke if you know what i mean. So... how do i do it. I have looked at the script for the original but i dont get it.
Could anybody post the script and tell me what each of the parameters mean?
Sry for my terrible english xD

Hi thanks for the quick answear
I know how to make particles but I dont know how to make them appear when i enter a area. Im sry i wasnt very specific in my first post, i was really tired when i wrote it xD
But you know is it something like :
MakeParticle("cave_inPS"); or something??? XD

Yeah, that's on the script function page. Just crtl + f and search for particle.

Ok, so i found this and i guess this is it?
CreateParticleSystemAtEntity(string& asPSName, string& asPSFile, string& asEntity, bool abSavePS);
But what do i put in each parameter?
What do i put in "string& asPSName" etc?

CreateParticleSystemAtEntity("", "ps_dust_break_25.ps", "AreaEffects", false);
ps_dust_break_25.ps = Particle Effect File
AreaEffects = Where the PS Effect shall be created

asPSName = the internal name you want to give the particle system, you will need that name when you want to use DestroyParticleSysten.
asPSFile = self-explanatory, the file name of the particle system (just look in the particle system browser)
asEntity = where it should appear
abSavePS = not quite sure what that does, might cache it or remembers that it already has been used next time you enter the map
