How to increase animation duration in Magos Model editor?

[Marshmalo]

Hi, does anyone know how to increase the duration of a models animation in Magos model editor?

I've added some particle effects to a models death animation but the problem is the animation finished before the particles do!

Lol what?

Do you not understand what I mean?

1. Go to windows, click sequence manager.
2. Double click the animation you want to extend the duration but make sure that the duration will not complicate any other animation's interval length.

With your problem, you said

the animation finished before the particles do

It is in the node manager and the particle emitter that you are saying is the one of which you will decrease the interval.

With this, you have to: 1. click the node manager, 2. Look for the particle emitter that corresponds to where the animation is linked, 3. Decrease its length of interval.

Now, you will say how should I do that?
1. Double click the particle emitter to edit it.
2. You will see some numbers inside that might look like the following:

0: 1
200: 0
500: 1
1000: 0

Those numbers at the left are the intervals while those numbers at the right signifies which point the particle emitter would go turned off or on. 1 means that the particle emitter is on while 0 means that the particle emitter is off. If, say, the death animation has a corresponding particle emitter and the death animation starts at 1000 and ends at 1500 your particle emitter should have a code in the emission rate that looks like the one below.

0: 0
500: 0
1000: 1
1500: 0

This ends the explanations.

I tried clicking windows sequence manager but I cant see anywhere where it says animation length? Here is a screen shot of what I'm looking at, as you can see I'm trying to increase the death anim duration length.

Here also is the particle menu I am getting of I double click like you say and I cant see that code of numbers anywhere for me to edit??

I really appreciate your help and sorry for being such a noob :S

animation length is the interval. The length there is from 4000 - 6000.
What you have to do is do the second option. decreasing the length/interval of the particle emitter as I mentioned in my first post.
EDIT
Or, may I just have the model so I can do the manipulation?

hmm I found where I was supposed to edit, after I editing I managed to get the duration extended but now the death animation is bugged in game. Here is the model before I tried changing it myself.

Try to use mlvis for that. Rightclick on the line with frames -> add -> number of frames, 1000 egal to 1 second.

E: here, try this. Hope you have asked his permission or something..

1. Change the lifespan to 0.80
2. Chane the variation to 3.
SOrry, I have forgotten to say it should be the visibility that should be edited.

Ahh thx Retro! Yes I will mail him permission if I use it in my map.

Nope, i don't know that too! XD
