I'm trying to make 2 quick bursts of sparks shoot out of a small robot. I can get near exactly the effect I'm looking for with normal Spray, but I can't find a way to make it stop spurting. There's an option to input when the spray should start but none for it to end. I can't get Super Spray to work at all with what I'm trying to do.

All the Super Spray particles fire out in a straight line, not haphazard cone-shaped like Spray with the variation set high. Is there any way to get Spray to stop or adapt Super Spray to get the effect?

Any help would be great.

You have the "spread" parameters in superspray, quite visible at the beginning of the roll-out.

I...wow, I feel really stupid right now. Thanks! I think I tried that area sometime but I guess I didn't use the spread.
