particles.setEmitter

particles.setEmitter sets Emitter on a particles object. It takes id, x, y and z.

particles.setEmitter(id, x, y, z)

function start() {  particles.create('main', 10);  particles.setEmitter('main', 0, 2, 0);}

particles.create is there to give the call something to act on; particles.setEmitter is the line that matters. The code sits in start(), which the engine calls once, when the entity spawns.
