Help with particles please

Hi! I'm a newbie scripter that is looking to make a stream of little "blips" over a short area that will always come out of the back of an object. So far it works ok, I used the PSYS_SRC_PATTERN_ANGLE, got the color and everything. It just has two little problems that I am having trouble fixing.

1. I would like them to glow
2. The stream is much too long, how can I make it shorter?

here is what I have so far:

default
{
state_entry()
{
llParticleSystem([PSYS_SRC_PATTERN, PSYS_SRC_PATTERN_ANGLE,
PSYS_PART_START_ALPHA, 1.0,
PSYS_PART_END_ALPHA, 0.0,
PSYS_PART_START_SCALE, <0.05,0.05,0.05>,
PSYS_PART_END_SCALE, <0.025,0.025,0.025>,
PSYS_PART_START_COLOR, <0.0,0.7,0.7>,
PSYS_PART_MAX_AGE, .8,
PSYS_SRC_BURST_RATE, .2,
PSYS_SRC_ACCEL, <0,0,0>]);
}

}

Use PSYS_PART_EMISSIVE_MASK TRUE to make it glow.

To make the stream shorter change your value in PSYS_PART_MAX_AGE, .8, to a smaller number, like maybe .4

ok, got the age thing no problem, thank you.

What exactly do I have to add for the emissive mask? I just added

PSYS_PART_EMISSIVE_MASK, TRUE,

and got a rule #8 error

PSYS_PART_EMISSIVE_MASK is a flag setting

default
{
    state_entry()
    { 
      llParticleSystem([PSYS_SRC_PATTERN, PSYS_SRC_PATTERN_ANGLE,
      PSYS_PART_FLAGS,PSYS_PART_EMISSIVE_MASK,
      PSYS_PART_START_ALPHA, 1.0,
      PSYS_PART_END_ALPHA, 0.0,
      PSYS_PART_START_SCALE, <0.05,0.05,0.05>,
      PSYS_PART_END_SCALE, <0.025,0.025,0.025>,
      PSYS_PART_START_COLOR, <0.0,0.7,0.7>,
      PSYS_PART_MAX_AGE, .4,
      PSYS_SRC_BURST_RATE, .2,
      PSYS_SRC_ACCEL, <0,0,0>]);
    }

}
