How do I use PREFAB_PARTICLE to set the smoke plume?

[Tweeker]

I've been working on adding content to my mod, and one of the engines uses the {PREFAB_PARTICLE} for smoke, Does anyone have any experience with it? I'm not having any luck getting the smoke plume to appear.

Post your part config here and let us take a look at what you did wrong

Is this the config for a model that you made yourself, or one of the models from squad? In any case, the model need to have an empty gameobject called "smokePoint" attached to it if you want the smoke to emit from a point other than the thrustTransform. If not, change "transformName = smokePoint" to "transformName = thrustTransform".
