Care to elaborate, anyone? I'm assuming there is a script for a particle... how does that work?

Well i don't know about the others but i'm the utilitarian type. And so this is kind of one of those scripts i don't feel i need to write. Particle scripts don't serve much use except to look pretty...

To create a sparkle effect, i use a combination of textureanims (in several directions), transparency in hollowed prims and specific textures, combined with a particle effect for 'shine'.

And Strife, except for the Field of Dreams effect (plants), rain, butterflies, falling leaves, fish schools, waterfalls, all engine effects, fires and smoke, blood and other spatters, fountains, airbubbles, special lighting, fog effects, object locating devices, trackers, tube-connections between objects etc.. etc.. particle effects don't serve much use, i must agree ;)

Could you elaborate on the "tube-connections between objects" point? Sounds interesting, but I don't know what it is.

Its possible to create a particle effect that looks as though a tube is connecting two objects together by setting the particle texture to a solid circle texture (I think)

The tube-connection I mentioned, basically is what Christopher said. An opaque high density particle stream between two objects (one preferably moving or attached to an avatar). This will result in a flexible tube like shape between the two objects.
There's probably several examples of this technique in world. But one that I know of is Imagoel Bests waterpipe.
