Specifies the maximum time, in frames, for which this particle system can exist. Defaults to -1 which means infinite.
Notes
- Most particle system behavior types cause the system to be deleted as soon as it stops spawning more particles, with the exception of gas and weak gas systems – these systems will not expire unless limited with Lifetime.
- Note that the particle system [GasCloudSys] must not have a limited Lifetime else the game will crash when that system is created.
