L4D particle demonstration

[BUGHUNTER6]

Where should I put these names in? If I type them into the entity - bar, it won't work...

Sorry I'm new at particles.

@BUGHUNTER6 The entity needs to be an Info_particle_system. Once you place it in the game world, double click on it to edit it's properties and set 'Particle System Name' to one of the names listed here. You need to trigger the particle effect with an input or by setting the entity to start as active.

how do i make particle effects?

[MrTriangulum]

Use the entity info_particle_controller.

[lildudesvideos]

when i use the barrel_fire_big particle it only shows up as smoke! can someone help me please

[tkellaway]

use an env_fire entitiy as well

[lildudesvideos]

i did that also and it still shows up as smoke!! please help me!!

[tkellaway]

you need an env_fog_controller entity for fire effects to show I think.

[lildudesvideos]

doesnt work either

[tkellaway]

forgot to mention - you need to set 'enable fog' to yes as well.

Also check the flags for the env_fire so that it doesn't start off.
