Source Shorts #18 - Changing Explosion Effects
21Hello and welcome to yet another Source Shorts video! Today, I am outlining how you can change the explosion effects in two ways: by modifying the materials that the explosion effect uses and replacing the effect with a particle system. I make some egregious errors in this video in an attempt to get it out quickly, I apologize for this! Also, for the particle system explosion effect, I didn't specify in the video that the particle system needs to be precached in order for it to be used. A very quick and effective way to achieve this is to add an ! at the front of the .pcf file that contains the particle system that you want to use inside of the particles_manifest.txt file (which should be in your mod's particles folder). So, you would add something like: "file" "!particles/explosion.pcf". As always, have a great day and I'll see you soon for another video! Thanks for watching.
