Red, Green, Blue, Transparency

Code: [Select]

Example = 1 0 0 0.5: //Would mean your particle at this point is Red, and half transparent.

Example2 = 1 1 1 1; //Would mean you particle would be White and not transparent.
You can combine colors as well to make specific colors of course

1 1 0 1 = yellow
0 1 1 1 = cyan
1 0 1 1 = purple

You have some bad time/size/color scaling.

This is the correct format, you can have 0 - 1 - 2 - 3 (from 0 to 3) and they CANNOT skip. if you have 3 colours steps, as in 0 and 1 and 2, then you also need 3 Sizes steps, 0 and 1 and 2, and Times steps 0 and 1 and 2.

Code: [Select]

    colors[0] = "1.0 0.0 0.0 1.0";
colors[1] = "1.0 0.0 0.0 1.0";
colors[2] = "1.0 0.0 0.0 0.0";

sizes[0] = 0.1;
sizes[1] = 0.1;
sizes[2] = 0.1;

times[0] = 0.0;
times[1] = 0.5;
times[2] = 1.0;
If you are missing Steps, as in it skips from 1 to 3 without a step 2, then the Engine will simply stop at step 1 and dump the rest of the steps.
