The picture says more than words. I´ve taken a little example of my particle tutorial at the 3dgs-Mag and messed around with it. The effect is inspired by "Deus Ex - Invisible War", where I´ve seen a similar one.

I´ll through the files together so you can play for yourself. You´ll need Com to do so, because the effect use "streak".

Very nice effect

I would use it (converted to Lite-C) but Lite-C particles don't work

Thanks fogman.

couldnt you have better used a model with alpha maps for this?
wont this eat a lot of FPS, using particles + streak?

gotta admitr though it looks good

Each particle is visible for one frame. You could start the particle function 50 times or even more, without any problems.
The particles are very small (size = 0.2-0.3) and they don´t use a bitmap. It´s a small, fast effect.
The textpanel is a model with alphachannel. There are three textpanels, slightly jittering. One of them is the particle "targed".

Edit: I´ve an idea how to achive nearly the same effect without "streak" - even without particles at all!
I play around with it later this day and will post my results.
