HI recently in a quest to figure out why my sim was running so slow I started to investigate every script that was running. And contacting the developer of each script. One script in particular stood out. It turns out be a rather common script. The script consists of the make smoke command, and a one minute timer continuously triggering the command. Yikes!
I was wondering if some experienced particle scripter would be willing to take a few minute to convert the script over to particles. This is a case where some one with some experience could really make a difference. But it is also a case where people will continue to use the cheapest scripts, The free sim insensitive script, unless the new script is also free.

Contact me inworld :)
I specialise in scripting particle effects.
If it's already a free script I'll do it for free or a small donation.

Post the script here and I'll look at it. Depending on how it works, it might be possible to change it to one particle system that emits a puff every 60 seconds (wouldn't require a separate timer).

Send Konigmann Lippman an IM and tell him you are interested in some particle generators.
