Returns: N/A
This function is ideal for those effects that do not require any
of the functionality offered by particle emitters (for
example, to create smoke from a missile, or a simple explosion
effect) as it permits you to quickly and easily create particles at
any position in the game room. Note that you must have created the
particle system and the particle type previously for this function
to be used.

{
part_particles_create(sname, mouse_x, mouse_y,
p_CursorEffect, 5);
}
