Particle people in da house?

When I set my "follows source" to FALSE, my particle emmitter stops working.

Any ideas?

Here's the script so you can see it for yourself. (this actually workse, set followsource to false to break it.

integer interpSize = TRUE;      // Go from start to end size
integer wind = TRUE;           // Particles effected by wind

I took a look..

Your culprit is this line:
float radius = 15; // Radius to emit particles for BURST pattern

Your emitting these bubbles in a 15m radius.. so few are coming out its hard to catch.
But with this line:
integer followSource = TRUE; // Particles follow the source

The radius is ignored.

So there you have it

EDIT: Forgot to spell checj :/

damnable recycled scripts. thank you.
