LSL particle script: soft sparkles around an object

A few sparkles make a gift box, a sign or a magic wand stand out. This particle script sends out soft, glowing sparkles that fade as they drift. All the important values are at the top, so you can make your own effect without learning the whole particle system.

How to set it up

Put the script in the object and save. Sparkles appear right away.
Touch the object to turn them off and on.
Change the colours, sizes and amounts and save again to see the result.

Settings

COLOR_START and COLOR_END: each sparkle fades from the first colour to the second.
SIZE_START and SIZE_END: the size of a sparkle when it appears and when it disappears, in metres.
PARTICLE_LIFE: how many seconds each sparkle lives.
BURST_RATE and BURST_COUNT: how often sparkles appear and how many at a time.
PARTICLE_TEXTURE: empty for the standard round particle, or the UUID of your own particle texture.

Tips

Less is more: a few slow sparkles look classier than a cloud of fast ones, and they are easier on the viewer.
Particles are a setting of the prim. If you delete the script, they keep going. To stop them for good, touch to turn them off first, then delete the script.

Frequently asked questions

Why can't I see any particles?

Your viewer may have particles turned down. Check the maximum particle count in the graphics settings.

How do I make snow or rain instead?

Use a white or blue colour, a longer PARTICLE_LIFE and a stronger downward pull: change PSYS_SRC_ACCEL to something like <0.0, 0.0, -0.5> and place the emitter high up.

Do particles cause lag?

Particles are drawn by each viewer, so they do not slow the region, but very many particles can slow down visitors' viewers. Keep BURST_COUNT small.
