Decay

[Mularac]

hey, I got a question about the decay variable in the "flare" effect of a weapon, present in the efx file.
in the manual it says:

Decay – run down. This is the time in seconds under which the flare winds down in size and brightness. In not given, it will stay constant indefinitely (until it´s switched off).

but how do you switch it off?

I have no idea, but what means switching off in this case anyway? If you don't specify decay, the size of the flare should stay constant - if you specify a value for decay, the flare will get smaller in size until it's not visible anymore in the number of seconds you set decay to.

Sounds to me as if decay is already switched off when you don't set its value.
