   How do you make the fans go from left to right? I tried reversing the
   values for spin rate, but it does something completely different. Any
   suggestions? Thanks!

   I have a good idea:make an advance spark trail to make the best trail and
   spliting fireworks like it flies and at the end it splists and only then
   explodes

   1. Instead of having 1 halo, 5 seconds long for example, try increasing the
   number of halo particles. Try 15 particles with a lifetime of .5 seconds
   (with .5 time randomness). You may need to experiment with lifetimes and
   brightness, but the extra work will make a flicker halo, which does not
   stay around afterwards, and looks much better. This is how most of the
   “professional” effects are done. 2. Even I have not totally figured this
   out.

   Davie, do you know how to create a good looking fire effect? If so, how the
   heck do you make it?

   @royspaiky Shoot them if different directions by adding sphere speed to the
   vertical speed. Add lifetime randomness to the shells up to .5.

   Davie, I’m having a little trouble with one thing, and another thing might
   be my computer’s fault, but I need your imput. 1. How do you make a
   firework that spins 360 degrees? it’s a major firework that i need in my
   upcoming show , and I need to know how pretty soon…(and it’s supposed to
   be massive and last about 15 seconds or so. 2. When I make a firework
   w/particles tht have a halo around them, sometimes the halo gets left
   behind of the white core. Sometimes it happens, smtimes no. help??

    @progamerxt 1. make sure the shell has gravity 2. make it’s lifetime longer
    so that it starts to fall 3. adjust the shell speed so that it starts to
    fall at the right height

    @InnoventionsTomorrow 1. As stated in the tutorial, if you want the shell
    to appear to spin, the rotation settings are made on the particles being
    shot from it, not the shell itself. Try increasing the spin slowly in
    whichever axis you want, then match the lifetime so that it makes 1
    revolution before it ends. 2. Just make sure that the halo has parent speed
    1, and no other speeds, and drag and gravity are identical to the core.

    I had a question, maybe it is possible to all of your shells, ect. make a
    pack, and put on the internet. so that we can download it.
