Let's say there is a particle system in a level called "SteamCloud". It is active, set through the Level Editor.
Using the
DestroyParticleSystem("SteamCloud");
function, it should work. If not, I dunno. But I think I tried something similar and I think it worked. Try this.
Replace "SteamCloud" with the name of the particle system that you want to destroy.
Infrequently active. Don't expect an immediate response. Best to contact me at a different locale. If I create a thread, expect me to be quite active.
