GPU Particles

self:burst

Client

Emits a single cycle of particles

local status = self:burst()

Fire-and-forget effects need cleaning up.

Listen for particle:finished and call self:destroy from it — it fires once every particle of the cycle is gone.
particle:emit fires as soon as the burst starts.
Switches the emitter to one-shot, so it plays a single cycle and then stops.
