Im using

PHP Code:

SetVariantString("ParticleEffectStop");
AcceptEntityInput(entity, "DispatchEffect"); 


on the ghost model to remove the particle effect when the model is made invisible

How can i re-enable the particle?

[MasterOfTheXP]

One horrible way to do it would be to change the model to something else, then change it back to the ghost model one frame later. Or in the same frame, that might work too.

The particle is an AE in the model. Should have keyvalues for it, and a name. Don't know if you can access it directly though.

I wish I could even figure out where the term "ParticleEffectStop" came from. It's nowhere in the Valve dev wiki, google, and if it's somewhere in tf2_misc_dir it's not in something my folder filesearch can read the contents of.

A dump of the EffectDispatch string table.

Table EffectDispatch
  1/1024 items
  0 : ParticleEffectStop

(taken from the dumpstringtables command on a TF2 server)

A word of advice: ignore Powerlord.

ParticleEffectStop is simply a client effect that stops particle emission of a given entity's ParticleProp.

Ironically I read (skimmed) that dev wiki page and noticed DispatchEffect() and I suppose if it would've lead to that sdk source I didn't look into it enough to see.

That sdk source stuff was one of the few things I didn't look through ;o;

Reapplying model worked for me

[Powerlord]

Yes, in this case apparently said stringtable is actually a cache of DispatchEffects you've already called. Whoops.

My original answer said to decompile server_srv.so but I thought that wasn't very helpful, so I searched for somewhere else that was more useful.

I'd take what VoiDeD says about me with a grain of salt, as he's still upset that I made a new version of PropHunt and didn't include fixes that he has in his private version. I could go more in depth about this, but this is the wrong venue for that sort of thing.

I don't really care about personal issues between fur sacks and protein sacks, but thanks for the data (or attempts at offering data)!
