Hi,
I think the topic title describes my question.

"Does any particle affects AIs vision?" should be the answer.

As far as I know - no. Sadly. Some addons add invisible "viewblocks" to their particle effects (notable DMSmokeeffects, now under another name I can't remember) which makes smoke actually work against AI - vanilla smoke grenades don't actually work either.
Wolfrug out.

Thanks alot,
I'm doing a sandstorm mission, could I affect AIs vision by making the weather worse in the editor (using the sliders for weather), does that work? I have never noticed a difference.
Thanks again

Fog and daytime effect the way the ai reacts. Bad weather shouldn't.

You could just reduce the view distance for everyone in this case, including the AI:
Code: (init.sqf)
[Select]
setViewDistance 300;
The player would see the particles flying around and so have poor visibility anyway, so it wouldn't be so obvious to him that the view range was limited artificially.

What you can try is to detect AI units inside the sand storm and reduce their skill to 0.

I would try Mandoble's suggestion first. I am doubtful that
SetViewDistance
effects AI.
edit: just checked Biki and Ceeeb claims it does effect AI since OFP 1.96
