Hey guys! Trying to optimize my hotkey use and consolidate the keys that I use. I've used Perna's smart create to make some of my own, but those only work in the subobject level.

I can get it working if I use the flame.ma from fluid examples in the visor and then detach time in the connection editor. This works perfectly until I close the file and then re-open it again. I assume cache'ing might have…
