# Improve the explosion

If you test your experience, you’ll find that the explosion repeats continuously. If you recorded a dramatic response, it may also not match the timing of the explosion. See the following sections for instructions on how to improve the explosion animation.

## Shorten the explosion

1. On the timeline, select the cog icon for the `paper_co2` button.
2. In the **Triggered Effects** section, select the cog for the **Explosion (Huge)** IFX.
3. In the **Current Effect Options** for the explosion IFX, in the **Length** field, enter `00:00:02`. The explosion will only be active for two seconds.
4. Select **SAVE EFFECT**.

## Trim the dramatic response recording

1. On the timeline, select the cog icon for the `paper_co2` button.
2. In the **Triggered Effects** section, select the cog for the recording.
3. If want to trim time from the start of the recording, at the bottom of the **My Recordings** options, enter the number of seconds that you want to trim in the **Start Time Offset** field.
4. If you want to trim time from the end of the recording, deduct the required number of seconds from the value in the **Length** field.
5. Select **SAVE EFFECT**.
6. Test your experience and, if further refinement is required, repeat from Step 1.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.engagevr.io/engage/experience-editor/tutorials/intermediate-fire-extinguisher-training/paper-fire/improve-the-explosion.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
