Additional Notes
- You must precache the particle system shared (the name is not the file name, but rather the name in the file)
- You should be aware that this a wrapper for an effect.
- "attachType" is one of the following enums :
SHARED | 0000000000000000 | 00000000000000000 | PATTACH_ABSORIGIN -- The particle system will be placed at the position of the entity. SHARED | 0000000000000001 | 00000000000000001 | PATTACH_ABSORIGIN_FOLLOW -- The particle system will also follow the entity. SHARED | 0000000000000002 | 00000000000000010 | PATTACH_CUSTOMORIGIN SHARED | 0000000000000003 | 00000000000000011 | PATTACH_POINT -- The particle system will be put at the position of the attachment specified. SHARED | 0000000000000004 | 00000000000000100 | PATTACH_POINT_FOLLOW -- The particle system will also follow the entity. SHARED | 0000000000000005 | 00000000000000101 | PATTACH_WORLDORIGIN
