To change the colors of the lightsabers, just right click on your particle, click on edit particle system definition, and click on glow. Then select color random and you'll get 2 different color options

For the lazy

Locking this particle to whatever model completely breaks it and it refuses to render. Doesn't matter whether locking to controlpoint0 or transform.

drwhofan-11 10 Feb, 2022 @ 8:03am

nudle 7 Nov, 2021 @ 5:43pm

Detective Not-Automaton 30 Jul, 2020 @ 11:19am

in the first picture with the blue lights, the scout's sniper has what looks like a blue muzzle flash with the laser coming out of it. where do i find that?

Cheese wheel from Skyrim 5 May, 2020 @ 7:26pm

@F4KE_Ad1m_Brxdl4y lock the control point to the handle's roottransform

Scupulousxd 4 Apr, 2020 @ 4:34am

Xen 18 Jan, 2020 @ 10:56am

I might sound stupid for this but how do you attach the particle to the blade

How do I make it longer?

Kuro 17 Oct, 2019 @ 1:23pm

Eggsi 14 Jul, 2019 @ 4:15pm

Ren 29 May, 2019 @ 9:18pm

How do you set a color?

HEXAGON 11 May, 2019 @ 6:27am

super cool

Uravity (Ochaco Uraraka) 11 Apr, 2019 @ 6:28pm

i LOVE THESE

Sir donks alot (rip my grandpa) 26 Jan, 2019 @ 5:30pm

How do you fix them so they are a normal size for lightsabers? When I tried it, the particle came out too big for a normal lightsaber

TRON 9 Nov, 2018 @ 6:34pm

do yyou think you could make a sort of rainbow energy infinity beam like from infinity war?

Æon 11 Oct, 2018 @ 7:59pm

nvm figured it out i think

Æon 11 Oct, 2018 @ 1:19pm

Is there a way to get the particle to "loop"? I need a number of turrets to fire lazers, and would rather not Copy Paste the animation set with different start times over and over. Could someone direct me to a guide?

.*Samochud*. JUMP2009.WMV 29 Aug, 2018 @ 12:44pm

Feasible for animation or no?

Brap Göat 31 May, 2018 @ 5:30pm

When I animate the particle it just becomes a bunch of dots moving in a direction.

Booze Sr. 15 Apr, 2018 @ 5:28am

My apologies for being a nuisance in advance but it appears that I'm both an idiot and your particle is hard for anyone that has to use the particle editor.

And since there isn't any tutorials on YouTube would you mind doing it? Or at least link a guide on how to do it?

Capt Fuzzy 30 Mar, 2018 @ 5:26pm

You have to drag the playhead out of the shot and back into it in order to get ANY particle to show up...

UnRealxArkon 30 Mar, 2018 @ 9:54am

COmpletely new to SFM i cannot see the actual lightsaber in SFM i spawn it and it appears in the animation set editior its not visible

Magnus Mango 2 Dec, 2017 @ 8:28pm

Ok thank you

Magnus Mango 2 Dec, 2017 @ 10:57am

Hey Taco are you ever planning to make more colors?

Capt Fuzzy 2 Sep, 2017 @ 9:51pm

You have to change the radius_max for both the 'main' and 'glow' parts to make it bigger.
I'm not sure how to make it longer, if that's what you are asking.

fightmarker 2 Sep, 2017 @ 9:46pm

same

mugiwara 30 Aug, 2017 @ 10:45pm

Ive tried everything through the element viewer and I cant seem to change the size to make it bigger! Im trying to use it as a kamehameha

Master Logarius 25 Jul, 2017 @ 4:28pm

We might need a Demo Video. Because I can't find this file

KVMO 15 Jul, 2017 @ 4:35pm

@Ruffian thx

Ruff 15 Jul, 2017 @ 4:16pm

@Kaysee | SFM Through the element viewer, there are a few guides on the community hub that'll help.

KVMO 13 Jul, 2017 @ 3:46am

@Dr. Gordon House please tell us. We all need help how to change the lightsaber blade size :( Also guys how do you change the color?

Sir donks alot (rip my grandpa) 13 Jul, 2017 @ 1:48am

Can anyone tell me how to make the blade smaller? It's WAY to big for a standard lightsaber

Capt Fuzzy 22 Jun, 2017 @ 9:08am

We really need a step-by-step guide or video tutorial for this thing because it just doesn't seem to work as depicted.
The saber FX work great, the lasers, not so much...
