// Description:	Used to place references to other particle systems in a level.
// This way you can have a single map that houses all your particle systems,
// and place them in other maps via this.  But since they'll always be getting
// loaded automatically from the original map, then if you change the original
// template particle system, all the references will get automatically updated.
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// How to use this class:
// + Place in level.
// + Set Reference string.
// + Set the type appropriately.
