PrecacheParticleSystem

PrecacheMaterial is a function provided to Precache particle effects by string. It is generally used to precache specific particle systems rather than every system in a particle file.

Todo: Clarify if this is the .pcf name or the particle name inside the .pcf!

Usage

//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Precaches a particle system

void PrecacheParticleSystem( const char *pParticleSystemName )
{
	g_pStringTableParticleEffectNames->AddString( false, pParticleSystemName );
	g_pParticleSystemMgr->PrecacheParticleSystem( pParticleSystemName );
}

Examples

void CWeaponSMG1::Precache( void )

	PrecacheParticleSystem( "muzzle_smg1" );
