I've been trying to figure this out for a while now but to no big success.
In a particlesystem object there usually is this section of code :
Alpha1 = 0.00 0.00 0
Alpha2 = 1.00 1.00 5
Alpha3 = 0.00 0.00 60
Alpha4 = 0.00 0.00 0
Alpha5 = 0.00 0.00 0
Alpha6 = 0.00 0.00 0
Alpha7 = 0.00 0.00 0
Alpha8 = 0.00 0.00 0
Color1 = R:255 G:255 B:255 0
Color2 = R:0 G:0 B:0 0
Color3 = R:0 G:0 B:0 0
Color4 = R:0 G:0 B:0 0
Color5 = R:0 G:0 B:0 0
Color6 = R:0 G:0 B:0 0
Color7 = R:0 G:0 B:0 0
Color8 = R:0 G:0 B:0 0




Now, can someone explain to me what Alpha is for and how the numeric system works? And what is the number after RGB?

Say, if I want to make a flashbang grenade non-transparent (no opacity) what exactly should I do?

I'll let you in on things I know.

Code:

  ParticleName = EXexplo03.tga        ;The texture it uses
  Lifetime = 5.00 5.00                ;Existing Time in Seconds(*)
  Size = 2.00 5.00                    ;Min size, Max Size
  StartSizeRate = 0.00 0.00           ;Starting Size
  SizeRate = 1.00 2.00                ;Rate of growth
  Alpha1 = 0.00 0.00 0                ;Minimum Transparency(*),Maximum Transparency(*), In what time does it happen? 
  Alpha2 = 0.00 0.00 0
  Alpha3 = 0.00 0.00 0
  Alpha4 = 0.00 0.00 0
  Alpha5 = 0.00 0.00 0
  Alpha6 = 0.00 0.00 0
  Alpha7 = 0.00 0.00 0
  Alpha8 = 0.00 0.00 0
  Color1 = R:0 G:128 B:0 0           ;Red, Green, Blue, In what time does it happen?
  Color2 = R:0 G:0 B:0 5
  Color3 = R:0 G:0 B:0 0
  Color4 = R:0 G:0 B:0 0
  Color5 = R:0 G:0 B:0 0
  Color6 = R:0 G:0 B:0 0
  Color7 = R:0 G:0 B:0 0
  Color8 = R:0 G:0 B:0 0


Transparency: 0 - opaque, 1 - fully transparent
