Discussion

ZxAnPhOrIaN: Should this have subpages with the actual copy n' paste stuff directly from the editor? It will save the mapper tons of time creating it, and still have the original stuff here.

Tarquin: If you want to copy emitters from other maps, you don't need the wiki: open the map, copy, paste into your map. The above lists need trimming down a bit, but I don't yet understand what all the properties do...

Wormbo: More examples can be found at udncontent logo EmittersExamples, Emitters and ParticleEmitter subclasses are explained at EmittersTutorial
