Particle issue

Everytime I go to the spot with the particle script it's doing it's particle thing. I wrote the script to activate on touch, which it also does, but not everytime I go the that spot. What can I do to stop that?


MakeParticles() {

particle stuff



}


integer OFF = FALSE;

default
{
on_rez( integer reznum)
{
llResetScript();
}
touch_start(integer num)
{
if(llDetectedKey(0) == llGetOwner()) /
{
if(OFF)
{
MakeParticles();
OFF = FALSE;
llSetPrimitiveParams([ PRIM_COLOR, ALL_SIDES, <1, 1, 0>,1.0, PRIM_FULLBRIGHT, ALL_SIDES, TRUE]);
llSleep(3);
llSetPrimitiveParams([ PRIM_COLOR, ALL_SIDES, <1, 1, .6>,1.0, PRIM_FULLBRIGHT, ALL_SIDES, FALSE]);

}
else
{


llParticleSystem([]);
OFF = TRUE;
}
}
}
}

It seems likely you are relying on PSYS_SRC_MAX_AGE to "stop" the particle system after a given period of time. There is a little bit of a misunderstanding of how PSYS_SRC_MAX_AGE works. wiki.secondlife.com says:



Because a particle system isn't timestamped, there's no way to tell when it was "created," and it will always be the same particle system until you call llParticleSystem again. You may want to use a timer to turn off the particles.

Interesting, I was looking at the wrong part of the script. Thanks Day.
