SpawnRadius

How far a smoke system scatters its new particles from its own position, in leptons.

A Smoke system places each new particle up to this many leptons from its own position along each of the two horizontal map axes. The two offsets are random and independent, so the column rises from a square patch around the system. A cell is 256 leptons across, so a radius of 10 keeps the patch under a tenth of a cell wide. Each particle also starts ten leptons above the system, and no setting changes that.

SpawnFrames=10
SpawnRadius=10 ; particles appear within ten leptons of the plume's base

Only the Smoke behavior reads it. The radius spreads particles around the plume but does not move the plume itself. A structure’s natural plume is placed by NaturalParticleLocation, and a damage plume by DamageSmokeOffset.
