Notes

  • Most particle system behavior types cause the system to be deleted as soon as it stops spawning more particles, with the exception of gas and weak gas systems – these systems will not expire unless limited with Lifetime.
    • Note that the particle system [GasCloudSys] must not have a limited Lifetime else the game will crash when that system is created.
