EDIT: Nevermind, got it working

How could i set up a particle system so that it travels upwards. My ps keeps moving on the Y axis. What i have set up is a pipe with a env_particles_custom nearby. I want the particles to move in the direction the pipe is moving in.

The ps ent has a value called "starting velocity params" and has 8 numbers in (the default are 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0). It's the first 6 of these you'll need to direct your ps, the last 2 afaik are not used.
The first 3 numbers are the min values for movement in x,y,z, respectivly, and the next 3 are max movement in the same axis.
So the numbers you'll need is the 3rd and 6th, to make it move upwards just set these numbers to what ever you need.
For example if you want the particles to move a min of 16 units and a max of 48 "starting velocity params" would look like this "0,0,16,0,0,48,0,0"
I hope this helps.
