Does anyone know how to get started creating a particle system for use in Dota 2 items?

I'm seeing items using basic particles appearing on the workshop now.

    Same question i Did in the Dota 2 workshop Thread

    The Original Question:

    "hey guys just wondering... is there a way to mess up with the particles in Dota2? I mean I want to add or in the best case create a sweet particle effect for an item.
    Cheers people"

    Answer by Zipfinator (thanks a lot)

    In the Alien Swarm or CS:GO SDK put "-tools" in the special launch options. Then open the game you changed the properties for and select the particle editor from the menu.

    I don't believe there's a way to connect your own particles to your items right now but they are working on a system to in the future.

    cheers
