Single SurfaceParticals

Need some advice on single surface particals

at the moment i have a load of emitters, i found that single surface per emitter works wonders, because you dont need to Update them if the camera is too far away, ANYWAY

each time i use entitytexture it changes ALL the particals in the Emitter, i know this would happen, BUT will using a Brush to paint the Tris work better? if so, How do i paint the tris?

What you need to do is put a load of different particle images, on the one texture. Then, adjust the uv co-ords of each quad, so it's selecting the part of the texture, with the right particle image.

Is this what you mean?

yupp.. Thats it, cool.
