Hi,

i will make a small animation with particles in slow motion.

Parameters i'm using in INI file:
Initial_Clock = 0
Final_Clock = 50.0
Initial_Frame = 0
Final_Frame = 240

But about every ten up twelve frames the complete "order" of particles is
changing thru the whole length of the particle stream!!

And ideas how to fix?? Or it's a bug of the particle_system?

Agh... final_clock 50?!

Apart from that, remember that this particle system doesn't have support for moving
environments IIRC. Does it have something to do with this?

Yes..i'm stretching 50 "frames" to 240  (1/5th speed of "real time")

I'm not moving environment..i only using spray

Here's the movie:

In a simple scene like this the default final_clock 1 is the best choice. Normalizing
the clock makes things much easier to set up.

Without any code I must admit I'm clueless. First of all I would use final_clock 1.
You may want to change something in your code to fit the new clock delta.

The equation final_clock = number of frames is far from being a good choice. In such
a simple scene stick with final_clock 1. The clock will be interpolated from 0 to 1
during the animation, from frame_initial to frame_final. The number of frames and the
clock are no way correlated.
