haunted by particles

undead particles

This is a problem I've had for some time and that has defied the lindens best efforts.

About a year ago I made a waterfall in my sky house and used a simple spray particle efect in a alpha tectured prim to make the sprayat the base of the fall.
Several months later I dicided to rebuild and cleared the land, first selecting and deleating everything there, the particle efect persested even though the prim was one of those that I had selected and deleated. I wasn't concerned at the time asuming that it was jsut some kind of strange bug that the system would correct and procided to clear the land using the land owner tools incase I'd left anythign floating around.

I build most of my new house and then logged off for the night, the next day I came back and the particle efect was still in my living room I searched for it and for active scripted objects and found nothing then contacted the lindens, they gave a none comital response so I raised my sky house 50 meters. now several months on I've had a couple of linden help guys over and one or two experts and noone can understand what is makeing the particle efect.

and ghost busters around?

Particles are a prim property - they keep going, even after the script that started them is gone. If there's still an invisible prim around from the old build, it'll still be doing particles.

I'd turn on Particles in the View->Beacons menu - that might show you where it's coming from.

I know, particles arn't my main area but I'm a fairly skilled builder ad scripter, as I said I removed everything, returned all prims form the land parcel ect.

I know full well that its not possible yet there is no prim generating these particles.

My only theory is that somehow when the prim was deleted it wasn't counted as gone on some level of the sim's filing, it has persisted for several months and however many rolling restarts and ALL objects being cleared from the land twice.

don't worry about answereing this, although I'd be glad if someone knew how to, you could tell the lindens heh but I don't see what else can be done

Any chance you could post the slurl location of where this is happening?

mogwa 13, 174, 398 its under my house but I put a block platform there so you can stand closer

use beacons:
turn on beacons view pulldown > beacons always on then set it to show particles with view pulldown > beacons > particle sources also render beacons helps too it draws axis.

i found it. its a very small prim with a script still in it tho particles will continue to run with out it.
i sent you a pic of its location too.

PS. i guess im a ghost buster!!
