I have 2 emitters one is parent and the other is the child. the child emits everytime a particle shoots out of the parent. so maybe its 3 emitters. one shoots up when its life ends its linked to the next emitter and creates a burst every time from that emitter.

what i need is for that everytime each particles life ends and emits a burst for each burst to be a different color. ex. burst 1 red, burst 2 green, etc... problem each burst comes from the same emitter how do I get this result??

Let me know if this isn't clear.

I need a little bit of help. Thanks in advance!

Hey try using parentID when you set up the ramp for your rgbPP. That means the particles will use the ID of the particle to determine where on the ramp it will be born. You will need to make a colorful ramp too.

Jeje, fireworks are tricky :)
Aikiman is right, if what i understood you have something like this:
Emiter1 -> Emit Particles -> Emiter1 particle Lifespan = 0 -> Emiter2 -> Emit Colored particles from dead particle.
If thats what you want to do, yes, you should use parentID to color them. you could use a ramp or any other method you find fit.

GL!
