=Particle Systems=
General Parameters:

*'''Name''': Name for the PS. Should be unique for all objects in map.
*'''Active'''
*'''Position''': 3D Vector storing the position in world.
*'''Rotation''': 3D Vector storing the rotation. Will only be used if the Particle System uses local coordinates.
*'''Scale'''

Specific Parameters:

*'''Particle System file''': .ps file to be spawned.
*'''Color''': color that the PS will be tinted with.
*'''Fade at distance''': if active, the particles will be faded if the camera is either too close or too far away according to the following parameters.

<pre> Fading Full Color Fading
<) |----------|-------------------------|-----------|
Camera Min End Min Start Max Start Max End
</pre>

'''Min End''': close distance in which the particles will be completely faded out.
'''Min Start''': close distance in which the particles will start to fade.
'''Max Start''': far distance in which the particles will start to fade.
'''Max End''': far distance in which the particles will be completely faded out.

		+	=Particle Systems EditMode=
		+
		+	This EditMode helps in creating Particle systems on the map. These can be used to simulate effects like fire, smoke and many more.
		+
		+	To create a Particle System, just click on the grid when this EditMode is active. This will create an "empty" particle system, meaning it is just a container and no real particles are shown (yet)
		+	Optionally, there are two parameters one can set up prior to placing Particle Systems on maps. These are:
		+
		+	*'''PS File''': sets up the Particle System that the object will be created with, in a .ps file format that is created with the ParticleEditor. If a .ps file is selected here, then the created Particle System will not be a container, but a proper Particle System.
		+	*'''Color''': just sets up the color parameter for the created Particle Systems.
		+
		+	Have into account that these options will be valid for objects created right after changing them, so any Particle System that is already created will keep its settings.
		+
		+	More on Particle Systems [[HPL2/Particle Systems\|here]].
