My only comment on this is Hu?

I don't get what you mean

He needs to set the time in which you will see the particles the system is spawning. Sorry, can't answer, I'm very bad at particle systems...

i'm only a stupid german guy

you know, a particle_system is only shown a short time, but i want it to be there a longer time(its a fire)

Edit:yes, as lumos said

eehm.. I donno really. I can check in the smoke particle_system I have in my mod. it's extanded in time... so i can possible figure it out there. But it's in .txt files. I hope that's okey?

 

[Darwin]

omg, please no .txt files

yeah, please try that, maybe so i can figure out how its in the module_system

you might want to look at this code example, it has particle effects that stay visible above an agents head

I would think that the 5th part of tuple:

#  5) Particle Life:    Each particle lives this long (in seconds).

would set how long it lasted.  Try putting like 15 for this value.

no, its the 2nd number, thanks anyway

Particle visibility is governed by two variables: Life and Alpha

Life controls how long the game tracks the particle.  Alpha controls how visible it is a at given time. 

Try adjusting both of these and see if that helps.
