I started working on my first stool awhile ago and just recently realized someone else is doing the same thing. , Oh well.

Anyway this stool is for the new particle system in the new engine. You spawn a sent and use a key to turn it on or off.

Download:


Feature list
-Portal/TF2/Episode 2 effects
-Toggle
-Start on
-Weld to world
-looping (for effects that don't last forever) (Kinda buggy for now...)

To do
-Control points

I will most likely update this later on today with the looping feature. I decided to release now to get feedback!

Pictures (Big)

Oh wow, gold stars for you!

Wait, there are no gold stars anymore :(

Nice job! It's really good, that there are already two people working on this. You could team up, or something. There must be something positive in this. :D

Such an amazing stool.

I can already find uses for this in mapping & scripting.

Your info_particle_system STool is better th en mine.

Perhaps I will stop developing the one I made, because you've already have made much more progress and I am also busy with other projects.

By the way, I love yours :D.

It's beautiful.

mauritis150 , don't give up , though. Your project still have potential.

Released!


I will most likely update this later on today with the looping feature.

So basically, that's more emitters? If so, I'm very interested, as a comic writer!

It's nice, however there are some bugs (I know it's still beta)
-The blood frozen thing won't go away even if you undo it.
-"updating" the emitter doesn't work.

Also will people who have EP2 or/and TF2 or/and Portal see these ?

The frozen blood goes away... eventually.

I also know about updating. You can update it, you just can't update the effect.

As long as they have the game, yes.

Thanks, you ought to love the citadel effexts.

I can't wait for control points!

Awesome!

That's enough people, when I see an STOOL which has at most 200 lines out rate Bad HAL's binary modual for winamp there's something wrong.

What are you talking about?


He has over 100 more Lua Kings than me..

Sexy!
And hey, someone is actually using my clock!

Yep! I love that clock. :D

me and my friend is having som problems with it in hes server when we try to use it it just goes like #sboxlimit_particlesystem

I think that is an easy fix. I have yet to see that error, but I think I know what may be causing it.

Edit:

Added the looping feature, and cleaned up some things. Will post update soon!

I would like to see a If Damaged Activate box so if they are shot or damaged they activate, and able to be saved with Adv Dup.

I'll look into doing that. :D

Also don't expect the update today, I have encountered a odd problem with looping.

I have a problem, half of my particles don't work. I also have TF2, Portal and Episode 2. I have no idea what's wrong :(

Played with this little.




And some of the Particles doesn't work (Maybe because of some limits?)

Got any quickfix for the multiplayerlimitthing? There doesn't seem to be a sbox_max**** for it.

I have no idea why this is happening, I've used it twice on multiplayer no problem... I'll try to figure out what is causing it.

Lol, I just saw the new one, with nothing written, and I just kept refreshing, then the tags appeared, then name changed then picture appeared, first download!

Edit:

Is it just a newer version or a different STool?

It's a newer version.



-Looping effects semi-work... Still needs some fixing.
-Duplication fixed
-sbox_maxparticlesystems fixed
-Renamed stool(not a long name now)

Particle Systems for the win.

Add hl2 effects and then I'l declare you the new Chuck Norris of Lua.

Awesome! Downloading now and testing soon.

Spacebuild cap ship got destroyed and now is falling towards the planet. (Real Picture, All was in a spacebuild server and it got attacked)

This thing is so much fun to play with. I literally sat and tried every single effect. Took hours. My favorite is the Superportal Collapse. I decided to make a video that turned out unexpectedly good when I put it underwater.

I apologize for using Revver, but Youtube won't take it.

I love the superportal collapse and the portal storm, though I think you should give the effects more specific names, like I wouldn't have guessed the portalstorm would be the one it's named.

What's that skybox on gm_construct?

It's my own construct map with a cool 3d skybox :D

I don't see what's wrong with the idea that some things are simple and useful, while others are complex and not useful.

Simple and nice

Probably not something that can be fixed, but the silo water-cascades are blood red.

That was just... epic.

EDIT:

Two more things: first, are the effects listed the only ones or could the Vortigaunt stuff be thrown in as well? And by loop, does it mean it'll only repeat after the particles disappear? It doesn't appear to work like the emitter delay slider.

I could easily add more effects, I just need to know the effect name. I will probably add some more of the TF2 effects later. (Teleport effects, medicgun, ect.)

Edit:

That's awesome.
