Template:Prototype property Array of CreateParticleTriggerEffectItem. Each CreateParticleTriggerEffectItem needs the extra mandatory property tiles, which is a table (array) of string which is the name of a tile.
Alternatively, instead of specifying the CreateParticleTriggerEffectItem directly in the table with the tiles property, a actions property that is an array of CreateParticleTriggerEffectItem can be specified in the table with the tiles property.

Examples:

footstep_particle_triggers =
{
  {
    tiles = { "water", "water-shallow" },
    type = "create-particle",
    particle_name = "water-particle",
    ....
  },
  {
    tiles = { "grass-1", "grass-2" },
    type = "create-particle",
    particle_name = "grass-particle",
    ....
  },
  ....
}

footstep_particle_triggers =
{
  {
    tiles = { "water", "water-shallow" },
    actions = 
    {
      {
        type = "create-particle",
        particle_name = "water-particle-1",
