Hello,

game: CSGO.

since all topics are a bit outdated about the particle system and after checking the source i couldn't find a solution here i am.

This is my current code:

Syntax: Select all

@Event('server_spawn')
def load_particles(game_event):
    engine_server.precache_generic('particles/blood_impact.pcf', True)

def spawnBloodParticle(particleName, origin, duration):
    particle = Entity.create('info_particle_system')
    particle.origin = origin
    particle.effect_name = particleName
    particle.effect_index = string_tables.ParticleEffectNames.add_string(particleName)
    particle.start_active = 1
    particle.start()
    particle.delay(duration, particle.remove())

@Event('player_death')
def _player_death(game_event):
    player = Player.from_userid(game_event.get_int('userid'))
    playerOrigin = player.get_datamap_property_vector('m_vecOrigin')
    bloodParticle('blood_impact_basic', playerOrigin, 3)

particle name taken from https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wik ... _Particles

I checked https://github.com/Source-Python-Dev-Team/Source.Python/blob/master/addons/source-python/data/source-python/entities/CParticleSystem.ini but i couldn't really get it to work. Particles are not spawning and when it gets to the point of removal it says:
TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not callable

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers,
CANi

Edit: Found this

Can you explain what
drop_model_index = m_nDropModel
spray_model_index = m_nSprayModel
does and is?

What's the full traceback?

Syntax: Select all

particle.delay(duration, particle.remove())

The delay will error because you are calling remove immediately and it returns None. So basically you are passing None as the second argument to the delay and not the callable remove method. You should use this instead:

Syntax: Select all

particle.delay(duration, particle.remove)

That fixed my error but didnt help that my particle actually spawns.

Bump, iam struggling to spawn anything in CS:GO, tried out different particles but nothings spawning.

Here's an old particle script I made for a friend:

The blood particle you tried to spawn earlier should work.

Edit: I just noticed that your particle function is called spawnBloodParticle, but you call bloodParticle in the player_death event.
That's probably why you couldn't spawn anything.
