I'm trying to make an emitter, that's a small semi-transparent yellow trail behind the bullet. The yellow trail works, but there is also a very large white trail, about 5x the size of the smaller one. What's causing thing?

Bump.

[Zloff]

maybe get rid of both times[0] and times[1] variables

Either times[1] needs to be 1 or you need to add a times[2] that's 1 (and a color[2] and sizes[2]).

Suprisingly, Zloff's idea worked. I didn't think the times had anything to do with it. Thanks.
