[b]Error: [/b]The effect aren't rendering, but showing up in the thruster-stool effect menu. no errors in the console.
[b]Code: [/b] [lua]-- Code put in lua/autorun/Thruster.lua
list.Set( "ThrusterEffects", "#Rocket", { thruster_effect = "rocket" } )

-- Code put in gamemodes/sandbox/entities/entities/gmod_thruster/cl_init.lua
function ENT:EffectDraw_rocket()
self.ParticleSystem = ents.Create( "info_particle_system" )
self.ParticleSystem:SetPos(self.Entity:GetPos())
self.ParticleSystem:GetParticleEffect( "rockettrail" )
self.ParticleSystem:Spawn()
self.ParticleSystem:Activate()
self.ParticleSystem:SetParent(self.Entity)
end [/lua]

[b]Notes: [/b] I mostly got the code from the Info_particle_controller Stool

I'm not sure how to help you because your code seems fine to me. It might just be a matter of tweaking the actual entity (By setting its KeyValues, or something similar.) Maybe you've already seen [url="http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Info_particle_system"]this[/url] page but go down the list and make sure you mess around with all the key values. I wish I could help you out more than that.

What is "GetParticleEffect" ? It isn't on the wiki.
You can use [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/?search=ParticleEffectAttach][I]ParticleEffectAttach[/I] [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img][/url] for orange box particle systems.

thank you very much, I will try so.

Just found out something... The file gamemodes/sandbox/entities/entities/gmod_thruster/cl_init.lua resets itself after each restart, so editing in it would be impossible... is there any other way to add a new thrustereffect?

-oops-

[XenonDice]

tried to make it to an addon file with override, but still it won't work...
maybe it's my code that's wrong again...
[lua]function ENT:EffectDraw_rocket()
ParticleEffectAttach("rockettrail",PATTACH_ABSORIGIN_FOLLOW,self.Entity,0)
end[/lua]

Wouldn't you want to make it an addon [I]without[/I] override?

My addon contains the files that already exists in the gmod folder, with a little edit (added the effect), but the entire file is there. So to add the new effect I'll have to override the existing file with a new one that is the same as the old one, just with a little edit. :buddy:
