Attaching a MOPixel as an Emitter to an MOPixel Round

Is there a way to attach the glowing MOPixel to the MOPixel Round as an emitter? Round: Code: AddAmmo = Round PresetName = Round Proton Rifle ParticleCount = 1 Particle = MOPixel ScreenEffect = ContentFile FilePath = Deus.rte/Daeis Weapons/Proton Rifle/Effects/Proton Hit Glow.bmp InstanceName = Particle Proton Rifle Mass = 0.03 RestThreshold = 500 LifeTime = 450 Sharpness = 100 HitsMOs = 1 GetsHitByMOs = 0 Color = Color R = 105 G = 252 B = 105 Atom = Atom Material = Material CopyOf = Bullet Metal TrailColor = Color R = 105 G = 252 B = 105 TrailLength = 4 Shell = AEmitter CopyOf = Shell Proton Rifle FireVelocity = 100 ShellVelocity = 10 Separation = 0 Pixel that I'm hoping to have emitted as the tail: Code: AddEffect = MOPixel PresetName = Proton Glow 1 Mass = 0.01 LifeTime = 20 Sharpness = 0 HitsMOs = 1 GetsHitByMOs = 0 Color = Color R = 105 G = 252 B = 105 Atom = Atom Material = Material CopyOf = Bullet Metal PresetName = Proton Energy Bounce = -1 TrailColor = Color R = 105 G = 252 B = 105 TrailLength = 0 ScreenEffect = ContentFile FilePath = Deus.rte/Daeis Weapons/Proton Rifle/Effects/Proton Bit Glow.bmp EffectStartStrength = 1 EffectStartTime = 0 EffectStopStrength = 1 EffectStopTime = 100 EffectAlwaysShows = 1 Thanks in advance.

The simplest way would actually be a lua script; basically creating a timer, then whenever that timer is past X MS, create a particle. If you can't figure it out I'll drop a script in here.

It's like researching lizards with a book on mammals. I don't think MOPixels can have attached stuff either. You could have the fired round be an AEmitter that emmits glowing trail particles with very low emission velocities(MinVel, MaxVel) and AirResistance = 1 to keep the trail from moving. The AEmitter can gib on impact and have a few damaging sharp particles. Edit: Shoot, I got ninja'd for the first time!

How would I write the LUA Script?

That question was already asked about two hours ago, and was answered. ( By me, by the way.) Anyway, Allow me to draw back the curtain... Code: function Create(self) self.timer = Timer(); trail = CreateMOPixel("Plasma Cutter Trail","Apollocalipse.rte"); end function Update(self) if self.timer:IsPastSimMS(10) == true then self.timer:Reset(); trail = CreateMOPixel("Plasma Cutter Trail","Apollocalipse.rte"); trail.Pos = self.Pos; MovableMan:AddParticle(trail); end end Just replace "plasma cutter trail" with the name of your trail particle, and "Apollocalipse" with the folder of your mod. EDIT: Also, it's Lua, not LUA.
