Special Effects - Achievement Unlocked one?

[Science]

Hi, on either garrysmod or tf2 when you unlock an achievment you get like confetti around you.

Any way to access this in garrysmod?

[Fysus]

Yep you can access it and I think its this [URL="http://maurits.tv/data/garrysmod/wiki/wiki.garrysmod.com/index09d2.html"]http://maurits.tv/data/garrysmod/wiki/wiki.garrysmod.com/index09d2.html[/URL]

then you use ParticleEffect( "bday_confetti",Vector(0,0,0),Angle(0,0,0),nil)

dunno if this is any help but I tried :)

Two attempts.

First:

Ran this clientside:
[lua]ParticleEffect( "bday_confetti",Entity(1):GetPos() ,Angle(0,0,0), Entity(1))[/lua]
Recieved the red crosses

Second:
Ran this serverside:
[lua]PrecacheParticleSystem("bday_confetti")[/lua]

Followed by this clientside:
[lua]ParticleEffect( "bday_confetti",Entity(1):GetPos() ,Angle(0,0,0), Entity(1))[/lua]
Nothing came up, no effect at all

Although after every function i ran this came up. (ParticleEffect & Precache)

Attempting to create unknown particle system 'bday_confetti'

You need TF2 mounted.

[Science]

TF2 is mounted

Did you do [URL="http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/game/AddParticles"]game.AddParticles[/URL]?

Which file is the confetti held in?

And when i do a custom particle i get this return.

UtlBuffer is the wrong type!

No idea. You can try searching for it using particle editor, but what I do is just loop through all of them and include all of them.

//Shared
game.AddParticles("particles/achievement.pcf" )
PrecacheParticleSystem( "achieved" ) 

//Client
ParticleEffect("achieved",vector_origin,Angle(0,0,0),nil)

Works for me.
