Description
Godot 4.4
**Issue description:**
Simply put. the documentation for how to use any particles with the rendering server seems almost entirely non existent
- most of the particles related methods give 0 information on how or when to use them
- most of them do not seem to throw errors even when nothing is being produced by the system you try to make
- googling the issue returns very little :
- A post with a single supremely unhelpful comment from some user on this post : https://www.reddit.com/r/godot/comments/17drqbt/is_anyone_familiar_with_the_particle_system/
- Another post with another unhelpful comment from the same user:
https://www.reddit.com/r/godot/comments/16nzmpz/adding_particles_with_renderingserver_keeps/
- A post referencing the procedure for the quite different visualserver from 3 x godot
https://www.reddit.com/r/godot/comments/uznvrv/trying_to_add_particles2d_using_visualserver_any/.
so far i am yet to see a single instance of someone having managed to use it online. im sure they exist ofcourse but that alone should show that this issue is isolated
i have myself dug through the cpp files for the 2d particles node. but even a direct transfer of that code to the degree ive been able to to c# has yielded a whole lot of nothing
