How do you make Particles? I want to know how you go about making particles. Like the basics of them.
If anybody here knows how you make them. I would love to know! Thanks.
You need to launch TF2 with the -tools and -nop4 launch commands.
Right click TF2, click properties and under the general tab click "Set Launch Options" you can add -tools and -nop4 there.
Launch the game normally.
At the top of the new window (it should be all great with "Tool Mode" in the upper right corner, with some other stuff) click "tools" in the upper LEFT corner, and select Particle Editor.
Click File, then New. Again, this is from the yellow menu in the upper left corner.
You can now make a new particle system. I would click File > Open, and go to SteamApps/Team Fortress 2/tf/particles and find some particles that have already been made, to see how it's done. You're looking for a .pcf file. From there, you can look at how particles are created. You can modify existing ones to do what you want, or you can make one from scratch.
I think that's just adding another emitter to a particle system, thats how they do the fire on the huntsman, it's a fire particle and a smoke particle together. You could look for and then look at that particle specifically.
