Expanding cube of RGBAed particles.

Parameters

Type Name Description
Vector pos Center point for the effect
uint16_t radius Radius of the particle cube when fully expanded
uint8_t RGBA Particle RGBA (index in [Engine Pallete #1](Temporary-Entities#engine-pallete-1))
uint8_t life Duration of the effect (seconds * 0.1)

Example Usage

void te_particlebust(Vector pos, uint16_t radius=128, 
    uint8_t RGBA=250, uint8_t life=5,
    int msgType=MSG_BROADCAST, edict_t* dest=NULL)
{
    MESSAGE_BEGIN(msgType, SVC_TEMPENTITY, dest);
    WRITE_BYTE(TE_PARTICLEBURST);
    WRITE_COORD(pos.x);
    WRITE_COORD(pos.y);
    WRITE_COORD(pos.z);
    WRITE_SHORT(radius);
    WRITE_BYTE(RGBA);
    WRITE_BYTE(life);
    MESSAGE_END();
