can someone mak A small little write tutorial on how set particle effect the rct3 importer.

also problem have when put object with particle effect in to rct3 it not starting mean particle effect.

all particles must have a start and end point, the particle stream travels from the start point, toward the end point (unless it has lots of gravity)

you need to place the start point were you want it to start and the end point a little way away for were you want it to go

if you use sketchup, particle effect points can be shown with text Fields (not 3d text) you have to click and drag away from were you want it to create a text arrow

i ave not tried much particles in the new importer but it is all the same i believe.

give the text Fields in sketchup the correct name so you do not have to edit their names (particlestartXX_name, particleendXX_name) when X equals a umber counting up from 1 and the name is the name of the particle(without.frw) the number on the start point has to match to that of the end point which it is with, and so does the name.

particlestart01_yourparticlenamehere
particleend01_sameparticlenamehere

then if you want more than one particle you repeat with number 2 instead of number 1


if the start point and end point are incredibly close, or touching, the particle will not work so i suggest putting it about 1m away from its start point to be sure.

if your particle is named "strobelight.frw" then yes.
