Well, I suppose my usefulness has come to an end. I can't experiment with particle editor values because, as I said before, I'm using a terrible laptop and SFM WILL NOT run on it, and unfortunately can't help you *that* much anymore until I get back to the states.

ah ok thanks for the help... so i did get a temporay solution.. (for others who want to know how add a sentry firiing muzzle to loop then here is a solution you MAY USE Not the best though :P ) so when i redid my sfm because it got all messed from the particle system and as i was adding sentry model to animationset, i noticed that there is a model for sentry, called sentry1_muzzle1. that model is a i guess a cartoony version of the sentry shooting... it will work temp. to make it loop. you edit it on the motion/ grpah editor.

Yes i know about that so i dont know much of the editor there but i did try changing many of the settings but no change... and it will not loop. maybe u can tell me which one allows it to loop?

Try working with the emitters, I believe.

i did. i went to continously-emtiing and changed everything... but no change to the loop of the animation. like i tried emit duration and shit like that

A much more convinient way would be to Instance the muzzle particle by opening the menu of the particles animation set and selecting "Instance particle system". This allows you to live edit that particular particle animation set. Now after instancing go to "edit particle" or something like that and the particle editor will pop up as an extra window. There you can edit basically everything that is about the particle systems propreties. There are many tabs and subtabs where the editable parameters are. For exapmle you can set the default emission time and animation loop of your muzzleflash to last really long. For more particle info and tutorials from for example Zachariah scotts youtube channel.

So there shouldn't be need to make every particle separately :)

oh ok thanks. that will take forever then. :P

How do you make the sentry muzzle firing loop continously as long as i like? I tried going to particle system and i didnt know what to do. I did try changing the emmiting duration to 0, and 100, nothing, the sentry only shoots once.
