The "Ez" Particle Editor creates llParticleSystem functions which easily can be copied into LSL source code.
Since rezzing 137 prims can be a problem, I've created this HUD edition of the "Ez" Particle Generator.
To use it, simply wear the HUD and click the "REZ" button to rez a 2 prim particle source at your avatar's position.
You will find the stand-alone version here.
This tool is freeware, it features everything you need to create custom particle effects, and the generated codes may be used without any restrictions!
* It's FAST
* It's FREE
* It's EASY
How to use:
* wear it
* rez the particle source
* alter values till you like the result
* generate LSL code and paste it into your own scripts
* be happy ;)

NOTE: This tool doesn't generate entire LSL scripts, but only particle functions.
You will have to paste the generated code into a script to use it.
If you aren't sure how to do this, see the included manual for an brief example.

Latest version notes:
1.1 - BugFix: HUD no longer turns itself around when attached to an non-default attachment point

Это работает
побаловаться можно ^^
Works great!
It works great and saved me some money too, I can make my own particle generators rather than buy them. It will be fantastic if there is an option in the HUD for full bright particles. Some basic scripting knowledge is required, as well as knowledge of the different particle parameters.
This tool is okay.
Well its nice that the hud can generate the script for you but i wish it would stop resetting the hud back to normal when you first get it because, it will do this whenever you rez or generate the particle script you wanna test to see how it looks.
Great Tool
I build and script, so I can honestly say this tool "does work" and works well. As the builder notes, "this tool will not generate the entire LSL Particle script", but it does generate the Particle code, which is the hard part. You should understand at least some basic LSL scripting, and I do mean basic. Once you copy the generated particle code, you simply create a new script in your inventory and paste the particle info in the appropriate area. It will basically work if you paste it after the touch event in the basic "Hello Avatar" script.
I see no real reason for this item to be reviewed with less than 5 stars unless the user has used it wrong. I rarely give reviews, but this tool really beats editing a particle script in-world to get the look you want, just from the speed perspective, I hate compiling a script multiple times to create changes. Just to touch on and troubleshoot a couple of poor reviews I've read....
1) The couple that had "No Permission" on the script were probably trying to edit the actual script from the generator sample on the tool. Any script you create in your inventory is Full Perms....
2) A syntax error will be given if you only paste the particle info into a new script, you must have more code. As I mentioned above, just try adding the the particle code that you copy from your chat "after" the touch event in the basic hello avatar script. That will give you a working and compiling script that will turn your particles on and off by touch. You can than play and learn what you need to edit to get rid of "Hello Avatar" greeting.
3) If you see no particles, it could be you are experiencing high lag or maybe you might try clicking the "REZ" button to rez the 2 prim particle source. Unless that is rezzed, it doesn't matter how many options you change, you will see no particles.
This is an excellent learning tool with very simple instructions to get you up and running into scripting & it's FREE. Kudos to the builder
COOL!
Very good for scripters!I even mustn't think about how to do script with particle system
