Func_dustcloud

Alpha ([todo internal name (i)]) <integer>: Transparency of the particles. 0 means that they are invisible, 255 means opaque.

Minimum Particle Size ([todo internal name (i)]) <string>: This value determines the minimum size the particles can be.

Maximum Particle Size ([todo internal name (i)]) <string>: This value determines the maximum size the particles can be.

Name (targetname) <string>[ Edit ]: The name that other entities refer to this entity by, via Inputs/Outputs or other keyvalues (e.g. parentname or target).
Also displayed in Hammer's 2D views and Entity Report. See also: Generic Keyvalues, Inputs and Outputs available to all entities

BModelParticleSpawner:

Start Disabled (StartDisabled) <boolean>: Suspend spawning particles after spawning ? Default value is 0

Particle Per Second (SpawnRate) <integer>: Number of particles to spawn, per second.

Note:Fourth number effects transparency after reload.

Maximum Particle Speed (SpeedMax) <string>: Maximum speed that the particles can move after spawning.

Minimum Particle Lifetime (LifetimeMin) <string>: Minimum number of seconds until each particle dies. Particles live for a random duration between this and 'Maximum Particle Lifetime'.

Maximum Particle Lifetime (LifetimeMax) <string>: Maximum number of seconds until each particle dies. Particles live for a random duration between 'Minimum Particle Lifetime' and this.

Maximum Visible Distance (DistMax) <integer>: Maximum distance at which particles are visible. They fade to translucent at this distance.

Frozen (Frozen) <boolean>: Spawn the number of particles in SpawnRate immediately, and then go inactive ? Default value is 0
