Particle scripting "MaxLife" on a collision

["Todd Lawrimore" <tlawrimore(at)shawscience.com>]

I’ve got a particle cloud in which the particles have a life of 3 seconds.  I need some of those particles (those that collide with a grid) to continue living much longer.

Seems simple but I can’t get the particles to stop sticking or bouncing off the collision grid.

 

I’m using “per Trigger Particle” with the following lines:

 

inParticle.Size = 1   ‘no problem with this line

inParticle.Life = 10   ‘ “doesn’t support property or method”

 

What’s the correct phrase for setting the Max Life and how do I get the particles to continue along their path without sticking or bouncing?

 

Thanks in advance.
