Particle repeating

[TheFrozenMonkeyKing]

I just wondered if there was any way to make a particle repeat itself, without having to copy it and reset the starting times, like the smg flash. It only shoots once, but i want it to keep shooting. My minigun flash used to repeat itself in that way, but now it doesn't do that anymore.

I think you need to edit the particle system and extend the lifetime. Not sure how to do that, though. I remember seeing a few tutorials that cover that.

simply set Particle System and Lifetime at whatever amount of time you want when creating it (in seconds)

For the Minigun muzzle flash, you just need to use muzzle_minigun_contant instead of muzzle_minigun.

The SMG doesn't have a constant version, mostly because it doesn't fire nearly fast enough for a constant stream of particles to look right. And then there's the Cleaner's Carbine which has a slower firing rate, yet uses the same particle system (muzzle flash from a suppressed weapon... right...), so it would be slightly desynced if it was set to emit every tenth of a second.

It's most likely possible to make a looping version with the particle editor, though I'm not sure how difficult that would be.

Ok, thanks :D
