      Been trying for most of the day to add a smoking / steaming barrel effects to a weapon going through its repack sequence. Damming thing is the effects are not showing, nor are then LUA errors. Anyone know what I maybe missing as this is bloody frustrating.

      -Resin

      			PlayFxWeaponPackSequence = function(self)
      				if self.SpinManip_R then
      					--Stop the barrels spinning
      					self.SpinManip_R:SetTargetSpeed(0)
      					
      					--Steam
       					local steamFX_R01 = CreateAttachedEmitter(self.unit, 'auto_cannon_barrel_right', self.unit.MyArmy, '/effects/emitters/weapon_mist_01_emit.bp'):ScaleEmitter(1):SetEmitterParam('Lifetime', 5):OffsetEmitter(0,0,0)
       					self.unit.Trash:Add(steamFX_R01)
      					
      					--Smoke
      					for k, v in effectTemplate.SmokePlumeLightDensityMed01 do		
      						local smokeFX_R02 = CreateAttachedEmitter(self.unit, 'auto_cannon_muzzle_right', self.unit.MyArmy, v):ScaleEmitter(1):SetEmitterParam('LIFETIME', 5)
      						self.unit.Trash:Add(smokeFX_R02)
      					end
      				end
      				TDFGaussCannonWeapon.PlayFxWeaponPackSequence(self)
      			end,

        Ok I've figured out the the Lifetime parameter is pretty large.... so setting a life time of less then 10 makes the effect so quick that it's not even noticeable.

          Yes, lifetime is in ticks (10th of a second), and then any particle size effects will scale on that lifetime, reducing the visible time to just a few ticks.
