• Drop it in the root prim and press 'Load FX' on the interface

NOTE: This is NOT a perfect function - works with most particle effects, but has some limitations.
Use this function only after you have 'Output FX' and saved a copy of the effect you are working on.
If you attempt to resize a particle effect, and it goes tremendously wrong, you can always click 'Undo'
- Here's how it works - Assume your particle effect is too big for the object you want it to burst from:
⦿ Once loaded into the HUD, click the Resizer Menu Icon
⦿ Choose '<Smaller' to reduce the overall size of the particle effect
⦿ Optionally choose 'LockTexture' to lock the particle texture - so that the texture size does NOT change when the overall particle effect size changes
That's it! Your particle effect just got smaller!
- Produces FULL PERM Particle Effects with 6 Script Templates to apply them
- 22 Preset Effects to get you started
- Random Color and Random Effects and an Undo Button!
- Access to Owner Only or Group
- Load your own textures (11 max via note card configuration)
Is Good
Is good and made a great particle for a crystal ball. I guess I just expected more from reading the other posts. What I read made this out to be the premo generator.
It has great stuff.
It is user-friendly.
It is fun.
Just wish I could find your in-world shop...
Awesome powerful and fun tool ... and easy as duck ;-D
Play around to the point you found your individual result, copy one of the pre made trigger scripts into a prim, add your new code ... DONE!
As easy as ABC and the possibilities are endless.
Thank you Cpt. Drake :-D
Great for making particles
Don't be turned off by its simplicity., This machine can really pack a punch. I lose a lot of time with this thing making some really neat stuff. I love that you can add a custom texture, but I wish you were able to add more than 11. Very easy to swap out textures for your own and extremely easy to use. Superb instruction card for helping particle noobs like myself. The fact that you can drop it somewhere in your place and let other people mess with it is great too.
Great fun, gorgeous fx...1 question?
OK, this thing makes tons of fantastic particle effects which looks great and entertains me endlessly :-D and it does, yes, output a script. But I have a question, every script it puts out says syntax error at 0,17 when I try to save it. Please tell what is the correction for this? There are many fantastic effects I would like to make and use if this can be told please :-)
Absolutely Amazing Device!
I love this machine, it is wonderful, I use it to make particles all the time. Thank you thank you thank you! Fantastic and amazing job! Probably one of the nicest and most innovative particle generators I have ever seen, and thankfully it doesn't take up 50 prims like some others do. Great job!
gave me a worthless script :(
ok so the script that it chatted (not the fx code) has errors in it that I don't know how to fix... why would it give me bad code?
