HEY! I CANT ADD PARTICLE TO MY GUI SCRIPT - I WANT TO USE PATRICLE SYSTEM WHENEVER I CLICK MY MAIN BUTTON IN THE GUI FOR A SIMPLE TEST I MADE. MY GUI SCRIPT IS PRETTY SIMPLE - CLICK ON A MAIN BUTTON FOR OPENING A POPUP AND THEN CLICK TO CLOSE THIS WINDOW.

i really tried everywhere - how? and where? do i add that:

**gui.play_particlefx("#particle")**

to my simple gui script:

local popupActive = false
	
function init(self)
	msg.post(".", "acquire_input_focus")

	self.mainButton = gui.get_node("mainButton")
	self.popup = gui.get_node("popup")
	self.close = gui.get_node("close")

	gui.set_enabled(self.popup, false)
end

function on_input(self, action_id, action)
	if action.pressed and gui.pick_node(self.mainButton, action.x, action.y)
	and popupActive == false then
		openPopup(self.popup)
		
		gui.set_enabled(self.popup, true)
		gui.set_enabled(self.mainButton, false)
		popupActive = true;
	end
	
	if action.pressed and gui.pick_node(self.close, action.x, action.y)
	and popupActive == true then
		closePopup(self.popup)
	end
end

thank you so much guys!

You need to add the .particlefx to the .gui file. Then you add that one liner you already have to play the particle effect.
