Patrick, I need linear emission intervals. The particles need to be spaced evenly. Turns out, apparently, that you have to hack the “Emit from Null” compound to make it do that by forcing it to emit on frame intervals instead of emitting randomly as designed by default. At least that’s one way to do it.
Now I need to set particles to terminate a set distance from the emitting null and have the particle scale interpolate along that same distance using two defined particle scale values from start and end and everything is golden...

It gets fairly close to what I want, but I can't seem to control the emission behavior the way I want it. Been so long since I've used ICE particles. I'd have tried doing this in Houdini except I need a quick turn around and I'm not up to speed on Houdini yet.
