Post Adding particle effects to actors
Is this at all possible without lua? Similar to TF2 unusual hats, I desire to add cosmetic particle effects to my actors. I was wondering if i could do it through some arrangement of attachables and AEmitters, but from my work so far it has only crashed. Any suggestions?

What kind of effects are you trying to do? Emitters would work fine for simply creating particles.

I only need simple particles, but I don't know how to go about attaching them to body parts.

It's as simple as adding:

Code:
   AddEmitter = AEmitter
      CopyOf = Your Effect Emitter
      ParentOffset = Vector
         X = 0
         Y = 0


To whatever object you want to have the emitter, and with the X and Y being the offset coordinates.
