Alpha Over Lifetime Linear Gradient component as seen in the Scene Inspector

The AlphaOverLifetimeLinearGradient component implements the older alpha over lifetime system that came from Unity. It allows for particles to change alpha depending on how long they have existed for.

A more modern alternative to this with actual editablilty is the ColorOverLifetimeTexture component.

This component is part of the Photon Dust system made by Frooxius.
