Persistance impact effects [Solved]

So I created this new explosion effect for a force power. The trouble is the effect doesn't play once and go away, rather it repeats infinitly. Which of course creates problems.
Here is the effect's .fx file
EDIT
Nevermind figured it out, it was the max particles property
