clientside particles

I have no clue how to create client-side particles, the examples for client particles on this page don't even work. could someone please explain how it works? --Pfannkuchen 22:19, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

The page explains everything you need to know. Try being more specific than "doesn't work". --TomEdwards 00:54, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

Thats pretty specific Tom. It's as simple as the shit doesn't work.--Gear 10:26, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

when I use DispatchParticleEffect() only red crosses appear, but I made a PrecacheParticleSystem() call already and that stuff CNewParticleEffect* pEffect = ParticleProp()->Create( "my_particles", PATTACH_ABSORIGIN );

doesn't even compile --Pfannkuchen 18:50, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
