[E2] Particle Extension

[jacoby6000]

UPDATE

Added function

R = particlesList()

[sk89q]

There is already an extension that uses particle() btw. I don't know if any signatures collide however.

[Drunkie]

I remember an older E2 extension that did exactly this (I used it on my old server), but the thread is lost somewhere in the forums.

[sk89q]

That other one was a bit different. This one lets you make your own effects, whereas the other one let you run premade effects (either effects made using the methods that this extension is using or Orange Box particles).

The other one: http://www.wiremod.com/forum/wiremod...em-loader.html

It had a fair number of problems though, so I rewrote it from scratch a while back.

Zshelly sent me a list earlier. I haven't looked through the whole thread, but I'll post it.

Thanks Whosdr.

Is anybody going to use this on their server? It would be nice to have some wide spread useage so that we can get the bugs taken care of quickly.

It's on sandbox.stramic.com:27015

Seems to send umsgs if someone spams particleGravity() and such.

Yeah, that's why you'd ideally want to only set it once, or when it changes.. Gravity has to be sent in a usermessage because EVERYTHING about the particle is handled clientside... I'll make it only send usermessages when the gravity/collisions/bounce is something different than its previous, and that should help a bit... Oh, and if you're allowed to make a new particle (no need changing the gravity for a particle thats not even going to be created )

EDIT: testing the code now, Should be released in a couple of minutes (keep in mind that this may add a tiny bit of extra over head (3 new tables) but i doubt tables use that many resources)
