question

what does explosion time do?
debris_life, is that seconds?
any options here that I"m not using?

Regarding explosion_time, I think that's how long the effect takes before the next effect begins. There's another parameter, "time", which controls how long the entire process takes. In other words, if you set it up like this:

death_spiral: {
time: 5,

explosion_type: 10, // SMALL_EXPLOSION
explosion_time: 1
explosion_loc: (0, 0, -64),

explosion_type: 10, // SMALL_EXPLOSION
explosion_time: 1.5,
explosion_loc: (20, 10, -20),

final_scale: 0.7,
final_type: 11, // LARGE_EXPLOSION
final_loc: (0, 0,0),
//
//
final_scale: 0.7,
final_type: 23, // LARGE_EXPLOSION
final_loc: (0, 0,0),
//
//
debris: "junk2.mag",
debris_loc: (0, 0, 0),
debris_mass: 10,
debris_count: 3,
debris_life: 5,
// debris_fire: (1,1,1),

the whole process will run twice, because the two explosion_time values add up to 2.5, but the total set by the time parameter is 5, so you need two run throughs.
