    Your best bet is to use NS's (quite awesome) particle system. Look for the entity <!--coloro:#FFFF66--><span style="color:#FFFF66"><!--/coloro-->env_particles_custom<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc-->. I don't know of a good walkthrough on the entity -- maybe someone else can chime in with a link or explanation as I suck at explaining things.

    But there is a tool called NSPEdit made by one of the users on this board. It was a bit buggy the last time I tried it, but it got the job done. Do a search for it.

    Use the point entity: env_steam.

    Check the Source SDK documentation wiki for more information about it: <a href="http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Env_steam" target="_blank">http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Env_steam</a>

    Edit - Bleh, I forgot you may be on about GoldSrc. Sorry, it's been too long since I've used the HL engine <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad-fix.gif" />
