This is a hardcoded behavior and it is not possible to enable this setting manually.

			For example, if an infantry of the type {{s\|CYBORG}} has {{f\|DamageParticleSystems\|SparkSys}}, you must insert this bit of code into any map file where you want the spark particles to appear:
			[CYBORG]
			DamageParticleSystems=SparkSys

			Specifies a list of [[ParticleSystems]] to spawn randomly when this object is damaged. Only particle systems with {{f\|BehavesLike\|Smoke\|link}} or {{f\|BehavesLike\|Spark}} are eligible to be selected.

			The spawned particle systems are attached to the owner object, and they are removed automatically when the owner is removed from the map.

			== BehavesLike=Smoke ==

			A smoke particle system is created when a unit or structure is damaged and it enters yellow or red health (there has to be a change) and doesn't have a smoke particle system attached already. If the unit is below ground level, no particle system is created.

			The smoke particle system is removed when the object is repaired back into green health by either a service depot, a repair weapon or self-heal, or by upgrading or using click repair on buildings. Other logics might not remove the particle system and it will stay active until it expires.

			== BehavesLike=Spark ==

			Particle systems are created with a probability of either {{f\|ConditionYellowSparkingProbability\|link}} or {{f\|ConditionRedSparkingProbability\|link}}, depending on the health of the unit. If there is a spark particle system attached to the unit already, or the unit is below ground level, no particle system is created.

			Spark particle systems are removed when they expire.

			=== Limitations and Unexpected Behavior ===

			Spark particle systems are only ever created for infantry units if and only if the type has {{f\|Cyborg\|yes\|link}} set and the type's section is present in the map file. If a type is not defined in the map file, damage sparks will be disabled. This is a hardcoded behavior and it is not possible to enable this setting manually.

			== Yuri's Revenge and Deactivated Units ==

			Units like the Robot Tank constantly spawn a spark particle system when deactivated. This cannot be controlled with this tag. It always is {{Sl\|CombatDamage\|DefaultSparkSystem}}.

			== Myths ==

			The behavior of this tag, especially the restriction on {{f\|BehavesLike}}, is the same in {{ts}}, {{fs}}, {{ra2}} and {{yr}}.

{{DeeZireInclusion}}<br />
Specifies which of the [ParticleSystems] is spawned when this object is damaged. Unlike Tiberian Sun this can not be attached to InfantryTypes and as a point of note it would appear that you can only specify one type and the 'spark' type systems do not always work. Presumably this was an attempt to speed up the game engine.
