Need help with particle values.

[Nutria2016]

A full perm script that I have includes a particle emitter, but it uses its own format. I'd like to take these particle values and edit them into the traditional particle script, but since I have very little experience with scripting, I have no idea which values go to which line in the script.

Here's an example of the format it's using.

list STEAM_PARTICLES =  [0, 3, 1, <1.00,1.00,1.00>, 2, 0.10, 3, <1.00,1.00,1.00>, 4, 0.10, 5, <1.50,1.50,0.00>, 6, <2.00,2.00,0.00>, 7, 8.00, 8, <0.00,0.00,0.00>, 9, 8, 10, 0.60, 11, 0.10, 13, 0.50, 15, 5, 16, 1.80, 17, 0.01, 18, 0.07, 19, 0.00, 21, <0.00,0.00,0.00>];

Any ideas?

None at all. It's just a string of numbers and vectors taken out of context. They could be anything.

Dang =[

Thanks anyway.

Those numbers are completely normal, but either intentionally obscured or the writer thought that this was more "efficient."

The number are just the LSL particle constants converted to their actual values. The first four numbers correspond to:

PSYS_PART_FLAGS, PSYS_PART_INTERP_COLOR_MASK | PSYS_PART_INTERP_SCALE_MASK, PSYS_PART_START_COLOR, <1.00,1.00,1.00 >

More on the wiki, constants and values shown on a table: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LlParticleSystem

If you enabled Particles under Develop -> Render Metadata, you'll see all the particle settings in floating text above any particle emitter, if that helps.

Didn't even know that existed. It helped; thanks =]
