Does anyone happen to know what they're called?
god i wish particle editor would work.

Propably, now it just comes down to attaching the particle to the gift and i have no idea how to do it properly. The particle just floats on top of the gift (item_ammopack_small) and looks dumb

Here's something I use in a plugin of mine.

PHP Code:

CreateParticle(iEnt, const String:szParticle[], Float:fOffset[3]) {
    new iParticle = CreateEntityByName("info_particle_system");
    if (iParticle != -1) {
        decl Float:fSpawnPos[3];
        GetEntPropVector(iEnt, Prop_Send, "m_vecOrigin", fSpawnPos);

        fSpawnPos[0] += fOffset[0];
        fSpawnPos[1] += fOffset[1];
        fSpawnPos[2] += fOffset[2];
        
        TeleportEntity(iParticle, fSpawnPos, NULL_VECTOR, NULL_VECTOR);
        
        DispatchKeyValue(iParticle, "effect_name", szParticle);

        SetVariantString("!activator");
        AcceptEntityInput(iParticle, "SetParent", iEnt, iParticle, 0);

        DispatchSpawn(iParticle);
        ActivateEntity(iParticle);

        AcceptEntityInput(iParticle, "Start");
    }

    return iParticle;
}

Didn't work :/

You can dispatchkeyvalues for origin and angles rather than teleporting the entity on spawn.

When I tried myself - it worked, but emitted from single point, not whole model.

PHP Code:

decl String:strPresentName[64];
// (secret stuff)
DispatchKeyValueVector( iPresent, "origin", vecOrigin );
DispatchKeyValueVector( iPresent, "angles", vecAngles );
DispatchKeyValue( iPresent, "solid", "6" );
DispatchSpawn( iPresent );
ActivateEntity( iPresent );
// (secret stuff again)
AttachParticle( iPresent, "halloween_pickup_active", _, 14.0 ); 


AttachParticle function

PHP Code:

stock AttachParticle(iEntity, const String:strParticleEffect[], const String:strAttachPoint[]="", Float:flZOffset=0.0, Float:flSelfDestruct=0.0)
{
    new iParticle = CreateEntityByName("info_particle_system");
    if( !IsValidEdict(iParticle) )
        return 0;
    
    new Float:flPos[3];
    GetEntPropVector(iEntity, Prop_Send, "m_vecOrigin", flPos);
    flPos[2] += flZOffset;
    
    TeleportEntity(iParticle, flPos, NULL_VECTOR, NULL_VECTOR);
    
    DispatchKeyValue(iParticle, "effect_name", strParticleEffect);
    DispatchSpawn(iParticle);
    
    SetVariantString("!activator");
    AcceptEntityInput(iParticle, "SetParent", iEntity);
    ActivateEntity(iParticle);
    
    if(strlen(strAttachPoint))
    {
        SetVariantString(strAttachPoint);
        AcceptEntityInput(iParticle, "SetParentAttachmentMaintainOffset");
    }
    
    AcceptEntityInput(iParticle, "start");
    
    if( flSelfDestruct > 0.0 )
        CreateTimer( flSelfDestruct, Timer_DeleteParticle, EntIndexToEntRef(iParticle) );
    
    return iParticle;
}
public Action:Timer_DeleteParticle(Handle:hTimer, any:iRefEnt)
{
    new iEntity = EntRefToEntIndex(iRefEnt);
    if(iEntity > MaxClients)
        AcceptEntityInput(iEntity, "Kill");
    
    return Plugin_Handled;
}

I'm a bit confused. is the code above how you got the particle to emit from the model and not a single point, or the code that you used and it emitted from a single point?

There is no way then. Humh :/
