[PageFX] Emit particles from single fixed point?

Trying to set up a PageFX element where I want all particles to emit from a single precise coordinate, rather than any coordinate inside a tile. Should changing the aura value on the token to 0 make this work, or do I have to make the token size infinitessimaly tiny? Would really like to avoid that, as it makes managing the token incredibly difficult.

Actually, setting it to 1x1 doesn't seem to make it too difficult to track. It still has the interdiction symbol when it's off, and you can turn the title on for added visibility:

I've been trying to do this on the map layer, not the token layer, so those options haven't been available to me-- even if i know where the token is, it's hard for me to select because of all the surrounding assets/tiles in the area. I'll put it on the token layer for now and see how that works out, thanks.

It's even better on the GM layer, which is where that is.  Generally there aren't so many things on that layer to block your drag.

(And BTW, that's a wickedly cool effect you came up with, what are you planning to use it for?)

I can't take credit, It's more or less the Orb effect from the FX libary:&nbsp; <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/FX_Library#Orb" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/FX_Library#Orb</a> I've made some more tweaks since my last post which I'll go into, but I'm going to start (yet) another thread because it's on a different troubleshooting topic and I want to make sure someone facing similar issues has an easier time finding the info down the line.

Sounds good. &nbsp;Specific Use or Pro would be the best place to put FX questions.

BTW, moved the tokens to the GM layer, thanks for pointing that option out.&nbsp; New thread is here (It's a bug, so I thought it was more appropriate in the API section):&nbsp;<a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/4127589/pagefx-slash-tokenmod-bug-changing-status-through-tokenmod-not-turning-on-slash-off-effects" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/4127589/pagefx-slash-tokenmod-bug-changing-status-through-tokenmod-not-turning-on-slash-off-effects</a>
