SmartShow displays different “view times” for shells that Ive combined manually in to a chain on the same pin. Is that okay?
Yes, if you combine multiple shells into a chain using the editor (“field chain”), rather than inserting a pre-assembled chain from the inventory (“factory chain”), the shells in your chain will appear as separate rows in the firing view and in SmartShow because they are separate pieces. Technically, all the shells involved are still on the same shot, because a single electrical impulse on a pin ignites all of them. But if there are delays between the shells, they will burst at different times. SmartShow displays the view times (burst times) of shells, and implicitly calculates a shot time based on subtracting the prefire from the view time, so in the case of field chains with delays between the shells, SmartShow calculates a different shot time for each shell even though they are ignited by the same pin. The result is a little strange to look at because it looks like the same pin gets fired multiple times, but it is harmless. Only the first firing event matters. Whenever you have mult
