This should be asked in the Newbie mapping forum.

I would like to know this as well, I've tried searching... no good results though. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo-->

... and I dont think it is a pure newbie question, if we relocate (^^) all the questions t the newbie forum, there are no left HERE!
and the drips arent a particle system <u>as far as I know</u>. its simply a sprite, performing its way from one starting point to an end point (target).

Thats the old way of doing it <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo--> and you only get 1 dripping line towards the ground(which als can be done more effectively with a env_particles_custom).

With particle system you can set a func_illusionary to spawn the drips at a random location within its size. Creating rain for example.

And if you only use a env_particles_custom without a generation entity you can create the 1 dripping line and save 2 extra runtime entities this way

env_particles_custom = more effective <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->
