I'm having issues with particles
I've made a custom pcf in the particle editor
put it is the particle_manifest.txt file
made a custom map to test it.
And no mater what I do no particle will display


Before you ask, yes I tested the map with other working particles.

1. Is the particle set to be active? By default it starts disabled.
2. Is your particle manifest named (yourfullmapname)_particles.txt.

Yeah after reviewing the frontline particle creators work I added a mapname manifest with the test maps name.

Does the ingame console give any errors about missing particles?

Your problem is probably because you aren't naming your particle manifest correctly. In this case, it should be particle_test_particles.txt

Is your particle spawning in the world origin, and does it have any initializer that sets it's position, such as spawn within sphere random.

yes I'm pretty experienced with the editor I'm just testing it out of the editor for my first time
