env_particlescript is a model entity available in all Source Source games. It is an entity used for creating sprites attached to the specified model's attachments. It uses 2 animation events for creating and deleting these sprites : CL_EVENT_SPRITEGROUP_CREATE (6002) and CL_EVENT_SPRITEGROUP_DESTROY (6003). In Half-Life 2, it is used for simulating hundreds of scanners leaving the Citadel in d1_trainstation_06.


Example QC snippet from ambient_citadel_paths.mdl :

$sequence "paths1" {
	"Ambient_citadel_paths_anims\paths1.smd"
	{ event 6002 1 "output1a sprites/scanner_dots1" }
	{ event 6002 1 "output1b sprites/scanner_dots2" }
	{ event 6002 1 "output1c sprites/scanner_dots2" }
	{ event 6002 1 "output2a sprites/scanner_dots2" }
	{ event 6002 1 "output2b sprites/scanner_dots1" }
	{ event 6002 1 "output2c sprites/scanner_dots2" }
	{ event 6002 1 "output3a sprites/scanner_dots1" }
	{ event 6002 1 "output3b sprites/scanner_dots2" }
	{ event 6002 1 "output3c sprites/scanner_dots1" }
	{ event 6003 98 "output1a" }
	{ event 6003 98 "output1b" }
	{ event 6003 98 "output1c" }
	{ event 6003 98 "output2a" }
	{ event 6003 98 "output2b" }
	{ event 6003 98 "output2c" }
	{ event 6003 98 "output3a" }
	{ event 6003 98 "output3b" }
	{ event 6003 98 "output3c" }
	fps 7
	loop
}
