I need help creating an emitter above the player's head that stays there until told to leave.

This is what I have so far:

--- Code: ---datablock ParticleData(AFKEmoteParticle)
{
dragCoefficient = 0.0; //6.0
gravityCoefficient = 0.0;
inheritedVelFactor = 0.0;
constantAcceleration = 0.0;
lifetimeMS = 5000;
lifetimeVarianceMS = 0;
useInvAlpha = true;
textureName = "./AFK_Image";
colors[0] = "1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0";
colors[1] = "1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0";
colors[2] = "1.0 1.0 1.0 0.0";
sizes[0] = 1.7;
sizes[1] = 1.7;
sizes[2] = 0.4;
times[0] = 0.0;
times[1] = 0.2;
times[2] = 1.0;
};

datablock ParticleEmitterData(AFKEmoteEmitter)
{
ejectionPeriodMS = 60;
periodVarianceMS = 0;
ejectionVelocity = 0.5;
ejectionOffset = 0.9;
velocityVariance = 0.0; //0.49
thetaMin = 0;
thetaMax = 120;
phiReferenceVel = 0;
phiVariance = 0; //360
overrideAdvance = false;
particles = "AFKEmoteParticle";

uiName = "Emote - AFK";
};

datablock ShapeBaseImageData(AFKEmoteImage)
{
shapeFile = "base/data/shapes/empty.dts";
emap = false;

mountPoint = $HeadSlot;

stateName[0] = "Ready";
stateTransitionOnTimeout[0] = "FireA";
stateTimeoutValue[0] = 0.01;

stateName[1] = "FireA";
stateTransitionOnTimeout[1] = "Done";
stateWaitForTimeout[1] = True;
stateTimeoutValue[1] = 0.350;
stateEmitter[1] = AFKEmoteEmitter;
stateEmitterTime[1] = 0.350;

stateName[2] = "Done";
stateScript[2] = "onDone";
};

function AFKEmoteImage::onDone(%client, %obj, %slot)
{
if(%client.isAFK != 1)
{
%obj.unMountImage(%slot);
}

else if(%client.isAFK != 0)
{
%client.player.emote(AFKEmoteImage);
}
}

--- End code ---

There might be a better way, but this should work.

--- Code: ---datablock ShapeBaseImageData(AFKEmoteImage)
{
shapeFile = "base/data/shapes/empty.dts";
emap = false;

mountPoint = $HeadSlot;

stateName[0] = "Ready";
stateTransitionOnTimeout[0] = "FireA";
stateTimeoutValue[0] = 0.01;

stateName[1] = "FireA";
stateTransitionOnTimeout[1] = "Loop";
stateWaitForTimeout[1] = True;
stateTimeoutValue[1] = 0.350;
stateEmitter[1] = AFKEmoteEmitter;
stateEmitterTime[1] = 0.350;

stateName[2] = "Loop";
stateTransitionOnTimeout[2] = "FireA";
stateEmitterTime[2] = 0;
};
--- End code ---

};

The emote is now sustained but it is sustained in the body/neck, not head. How would I sustain it above the head, not shrinking, and staying in the same place?

CityRPG:
Play with these for offset on the image:

--- Code: ---offset = "0 0 0";
eyeoffset= "0 0 0";

--- End code ---

The property for shrinking this:

--- Code: ---sizes[0] = 1.7;
sizes[1] = 1.7;
sizes[2] = 0.4;
--- End code ---

Changing [2] from 0.4 to 1.7 will sustain size.

It's not shrinking anymore, but it's still moving and not above the head.
