With DeleteOnStateLimit=yes, a particle is removed as soon as its animation state reaches EndStateAI.

Without it, reaching that state does not end the particle. What happens depends on its behavior:

  • A Gas, WeakGas or Web particle restarts its animation at state 0.
  • A Smoke or Fire particle stays at its last state and keeps showing that frame.

Either way, the particle then lives until its MaxEC lifetime runs out or its behavior ends it in another way.

The flag cannot extend a particle’s life. A particle whose lifetime runs out before its animation finishes is removed mid-animation, with the flag set or not.

Spark and Railgun particles have no animation states, so the flag has no effect on them.
