Want Fire? Sparks? Lasers? You've come to the right place. This tutorial doesn't teach you how to make any in particular. For the record I haven't used most of these before, it's simply a case of scrolling down the entity list to the ones starting with
env_
and finding the one you want.
It's so easy, all you have to do is to have the confidence to try it.
MAKE SURE YOU CHECK THE FLAGS AND OPTIONS FOR EACH ONE. There's probably one which allows for you to have it enabled at start. For the rest... well, that's for another tutorial ;)
Here's a very useful website which describes what all of the entities do. It's kind of cheating, really.
