I've been trying to make a particle system that uses a cone of particles with PSYS_SRC_PATTERN_ANGLE_CONE, but I'm having problems comprehending PSYS_SRC_ANGLE_BEGIN and PSYS_SRC_ANGLE_END. If anybody could provide an explanation for those I'd be grateful.

PSYS_SRC_ANGLE_BEGIN
Area in radians specifying where particles will NOT be created.

PSYS_SRC_ANGLE_END
Area in radians filled with particles.

Radian
57.296 degrees (DEG_TO_RAD is a useful function, or you can put things in terms of PI. example: PI/2 , PI/4 , TWO_PI etc etc.)

IMHO the best way to get the effect you want it to just play around with it and hope for the best. As you get closer to the look you want just make smaller changes.
