The projectile drops one copy of the animation at its current position on every third game frame, five times a second at 15 frames a second. Each puff starts one frame after it is dropped and plays through as many times as the animation’s LoopCount says, at least once.
The frames are counted on the game clock, not from the projectile’s launch, so every trailing projectile in a match drops its puffs on the same frames.
A shot with a head start moves three times in the frame it is fired. If that frame is one of the trail frames, the shot leaves three puffs a step apart, the first at the point it was fired from.
A Voxel=yes projectile leaves a trail just as a shape-drawn one does.
An Inviso=yes projectile is placed on its target when it is fired, so any puff it leaves appears on the target.
The setting is read only when the projectile’s rules section sets Image, and it is read from the art section that Image names. A rules file that declares the projectile without Image= skips this setting, and the projectile keeps the trail an earlier file gave it, or none. An art section named after the projectile is not used in its place. Where a projectile’s artwork is read from lists the other art settings this affects.
