This addon is no longer supported. For a modern version that loads effects from *all* games and addons, and has many new features like pausing and spawnmenu integration, check out Particle Effects+!

A tool that lets you spawn and control particle effects.

Features:

  • Includes every effect from all compatible games you have mounted (Gmod, TF2, HL2: Episode 2, Portal, and CSS). Other addons can also add their own particle lists.
  • To use the tool, left click to add an effect to an object, or right click to attach a new prop with the effect on it. You can also use the scroll wheel to place the effect on an attachment point.
  • In the particle browser, you can right click any effect to add it to your favorites list, making it easy to find again later.
  • Includes two separate tools for Tracer and Projectile effects - tracer effects are particles that fire out like a bullet; and projectile effects launch models that have one particle attached to them, and another particle that plays once they expire or hit something.
  • Also works with effects that have been scripted in Lua - look for the "Scripted Effects" category under "Source Engine / Garry's Mod", or use your own Lua effects by typing !UTILEFFECT! in front of the effect's name.
  • 100% compatible with dupes and saves.[/list]
  • [h1]Known Issues:[/h1]
  • [list][*]Beam effects tend to break when bone merged. This is because this tool uses a constraint to tie both ends of the effect together, and the bone merger tools treat all constraints like a weld, attaching the objects on both ends of the beam.[/list]
