ParticleSystem.MainModule.startLifetime

Description

The total lifetime in seconds that each new particle will have.

This value is set on the particle when it is created by the particle system. Assign a value of float.PositiveInfinity to particles to prevent the Particle System from destroying them. This gives the particles an infinite lifespan. See Also: MinMaxCurve.
