Particle Cleanup

Description
Welcome to Particle Cleanup!

Tired of all the particles blocking your view? Some troll spawned in and exploded a nuke and now your view is filled with all those huge particles? Well with this addon, those issues are no more. This addon simply gives the ability to cleanup particles, just like how you could do with any other entity.

Please note that this won't work for User > Cleanup > Particles in the Utilities section of the spawnmenu. This is because User cleanups only cleanup entities spawned by the client, and particles are not entities.

This addon also allows the crossbow bolt impacts to be cleaned up. I know at least one person found it annoying that they just stay there and can't be cleaned up, so I fixed it! You can disable this behavior by setting the convar cl_particle_cleanup_bolts to 0. It defaults to 1.

@Gordon Freeman You did not sound mean at all. I appreciate you reporting the bug

hell yea
and sorry if i came off as a prick first comment, all jokes aside you’re working miracles

@Gordon Freeman Thank you, that did the trick. I have no idea why the addon causes that, but I have fixed it now

i can't even begin to guess how in the world this is the case, but the conflict was Simplest Subtitles Framework
Rit 26 Nov, 2024 @ 8:00pm 
unfortunate, i'll do some testing with my other addons n find out who the true culprit is

@Gordon Freeman I could not reproduce this with any of the maps that you gave me. You may have another addon that's doing this

i messed up the link to fieldhouse, sorry

mm_harvest , gm_fieldhouse_night [http//%5Burl%3Dhttps]
also a couple of hl2 levels like the canals and ravenholm

fieldhouse *does* show that the fire particles reappear if turned off and on again [via the fireplace inside of the house] so maybe that can be noted?

@Gordon Freeman Can you provide me with some maps for me to test this on? That is not intended behavior
