Attempting to create a HUD that emits particles.

[D33SS3]

Hello all,
I am currently attempting to create a HUD using a premade particle emitter script.  The script works when the prim is on the ground, but I do not see the particles when the script is attached to the HUD.  I have general scripting knowledge, but I am open to anyone who has any advice or a solution.

Particle effects are not rendered in the HUD, so right now it's impossible to do this.

Oh no, that sucks! Thank you!

The solution would be to have two attachments, a HUD to control the particle system and a regular non-HUD attachment which emits the particles.
