Particle System not working

[Turtle95]

Hey everyone,

For one of my SWEPS, I'm trying to use the smoker_fx.pcf file from L4D2 as a particle system. However, I can't seem to load it. It's inside of "<Swepname>/particles/", and I've tried calling it with PrecacheParticleEffect("smoker_fx.pcf). Any help would be appreciated :)

It doesn't belong in the SWEP's folder. Here are the folders you'd usually put particles

/garrysmod/particles/
/garrysmod/addon/addonname/particles/
/garrysmod/gamemode/gamemodename/content/particles/

This and you must include the .pcf file with game.AddParticles before precaching it or using it.

@Robotboy, thanks! I'll try this.

@Walrus: It is in the second "path" you put down. I wasn't sure what i should have said as the addon name and whatnot.

EDIT: When I tried game.AddParticles("particles/smoker_fx.pcf") it said in the console that the UtlBuffer was of the wrong type.
