Particle Scripting

[FurryNinjaKitten]

I know this should be easy, but I'm totally stumped by the 1st line in this code- I obtained it by getting a "Ez particle generator v2.0.1" from the marketplace & it gives me this code for wildflowers I've made into a rainbow mandela:

llParticleSystem([
PSYS_PART_FLAGS, 323,
PSYS_SRC_PATTERN, 4,
PSYS_PART_START_ALPHA, 1.000000,
PSYS_PART_END_ALPHA, 1.000000,
PSYS_PART_START_COLOR, <0.000000, 1.000000, 1.000000>,
PSYS_PART_END_COLOR, <1.000000, 1.000000, 0.000000>,
PSYS_PART_START_SCALE, <2.000000, 2.000000, 0.00000>,
PSYS_PART_END_SCALE, <0.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000>,
PSYS_PART_MAX_AGE, 10.000000,
PSYS_SRC_MAX_AGE, 0.000000,
PSYS_SRC_ACCEL, <0.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000>,
PSYS_SRC_ANGLE_BEGIN, 3.141593,
PSYS_SRC_ANGLE_END, 3.141593,
PSYS_SRC_BURST_PART_COUNT, 1,
PSYS_SRC_BURST_RATE, 0.080000,
PSYS_SRC_BURST_RADIUS, 4.000000,
PSYS_SRC_BURST_SPEED_MIN, 0.000000,
PSYS_SRC_BURST_SPEED_MAX, 0.000000,
PSYS_SRC_OMEGA, <7.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000>,
PSYS_SRC_TARGET_KEY,llGetKey(),
PSYS_SRC_TEXTURE, "c7494967-ba0d-1d2a-686f-010f2c211738"]);

 

It all looks good according to the particle generator but when I go to make a script from it it it keeps telling me there is a syntax error on line 0, column17- the very first line. I've messed with the brackets but still keep coming up with an error. I'd like to be able to turn it on and off too.  I've found this code for turning on & off particle scripts:

http://community.secondlife.com/t5/LSL-Scripting/Adding-ON-OFF-To-particle-script/m-p/2348249/highlight/true#M20938

which has somehow worked when all else failed without coming up with an error message, though the code is exactly the same as I was trying, except with the PSYS variables starting on the same line as the llParticleSystem([ instead of a new one.

Anyway, please let me know what I did wrong (or the generator program was doing wrong) and what the most efficient way to script on & off into the particle effect, thanks.

What you list here is ONE single LSL-function and it need to be included in an event-handler which again need to be included in a state in order to form a proper script.
I can only advise you to consult the wiki and read the examples on how this function is used
