An animation of the named type is created at the animation’s position for as long as it is alive, on every frame of the game clock whose number is a multiple of TrailerSeperation. The count is the clock’s rather than the animation’s own, so every animation of the type sheds its trail on the same frames, and a trailer begins one frame after it is created.
Nothing restricts this to thrown animations. An explosion or a smoke column that names a trailer sheds one just as a meteor does.
A value naming no registered animation is not refused: a type of that name is created on the spot, holding no artwork and every setting at its built-in value.

An animation of the named type is created every other frame for as long as the piece is alive, on the even frames of the game clock rather than on a count of the piece’s own. A plume that has to stay attached to the piece is better served by AttachedSystem, which ties one particle system to it for the whole flight.
