// Keknehv's Particle Script v1.2
// 1.0 -- 5/30/05
// 1.1 -- 6/17/05
// 1.2 -- 9/22/05 (Forgot PSYS_SRC_MAX_AGE)
// This script may be used in anything you choose, including and not limited to commercial products.
// Just copy the MakeParticles() function; it will function without any other variables in a different script
// ( You can, of course, rename MakeParticles() to something else, such as StartFlames() )
// This script is basically an llParticleSystem() call with comments and formatting. Change any of the values
// that are listed second to change that portion. Also, it is equipped with a touch-activated off button,
// for when your particles go haywire and cause everyone to start yelling at you.
// Contact Keknehv Psaltery if you have questions or comments.
MakeParticles() //This is the function that actually starts the particle system.

I noted in the Wiki it says to use the llParticleSystem([]) to start & stop the particles. Ok. It has it. YET- the particles turn ON, but not OFF. It worked 2 updates ago, but not now. Is there something missing or am I missing something?
