Particle scaling

[N01R]

Now I found a rain particles effect that I like. But it's too big. Too spread out. Is there a way to change the of the effect? Maybe change the size of the spawn point?

go to the rains particle editor tool thing.

It seems to change the particles, like how long , which does help. But not the area size (unless I did something wrong. most likely) . Is there a way to compress it? I just want it on a small area. For example TF2 Scout has a little personal comedic storm cloud that hovers over him that rains.

Scaling particles can be complicated, since a lot of different parameters can be tied to how "big" the whole thing is. Particle radius, trail length, position random within sphere / box, movement speed, gravity, etc. You'll have to mess around and experiment to see what does what.
