Post Lifetime issue
I'm having trouble with lifetime on a MOSParticle. Whenever I set it to anything less than 1, I get an error on startup, saying no value followed it. I'm trying to make a barbed wire-type thing, can anyone help me out on this?

1 is the lowest it can go, excepting negative numbers.

So how would I prevent my invisible particles from traveling very far? I still want them to do damage, mind you.

I remember getting the same kind of problem once, I think if you set the lifetime too low, CC doesn't pick it up. Try something like 15 and see if that works any better.

That or you've got the velocity wayyyyyyyy too high.
