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 --Pfannkuchen 21:09, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

btw, how to get the new impact effects to work? --Pfannkuchen 22:02, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

It would appear that your particle system is broken, then. Does it work if you create it with info_particle_system? --TomEdwards 22:49, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
