This addon is no longer supported. For a modern version that loads effects from *all* games and addons, and has many new features like pausing and spawnmenu integration, check out Particle Effects+!
A tool that lets you spawn and control particle effects.
Features:
- Particles are used for all sorts of different special effects, from explosions and fire to weather effects, electricity, bullet tracers, smoke, beams and more! You can attach them to models and turn them on and off with a key.
- Includes every effect from all compatible games you have mounted (Gmod, TF2, HL2: Episode 2, Portal, and CSS). Other addons can also add their own particle lists.
- To use the tool, left click to add an effect to an object, or right click to attach a new prop with the effect on it. You can also use the scroll wheel to place the effect on an attachment point.
- In the particle browser, you can right click any effect to add it to your favorites list, making it easy to find again later.
- Includes two separate tools for Tracer and Projectile effects - tracer effects are particles that fire out like a bullet; and projectile effects launch models that have one particle attached to them, and another particle that plays once they expire or hit something.
- Also works with effects that have been scripted in Lua - look for the "Scripted Effects" category under "Source Engine / Garry's Mod", or use your own Lua effects by typing !UTILEFFECT! in front of the effect's name.
- 100% compatible with dupes and saves.
Known Issues:
- Beam effects tend to break when bone merged. This is because this tool uses a constraint to tie both ends of the effect together, and the bone merger tools treat all constraints like a weld, attaching the objects on both ends of the beam.
