This function is ideal for those effects that do not require any of the functionality offered by particle emitters (for example, to create smoke from a missile, or a simple explosion effect) as it permits you to quickly and easily create particles at any position in the game room. Note that you must have created the particle system and the particle type previously for this function to be used.
