<description>
This script generates a jet of particles, coming from a circular region in the XZ plane, rising upward, and
then falling back down again. This script is intended to be highly configurable. You can easily modify it
to change the time during which particles are emitted, their lifespan, the type of object used for each
particle, their starting locations and velocities, and more.

// This function is called to create each particle. The default implementation simply creates a sphere,
// but you can generate any object you want. Objects may vary based on their creation time, age, the
// current time (timeCreated+age), location, or velocity. rand is a random number generator which you can
// use to randomly modify the properties of each particle. It has already been initialized with a seed
// value that is different for each particle, but constant across all invocations for a given particle.
// If this function returns null, the particle will not be shown. For example, you can cause some
// particles to be omitted altogether (thus making the emission rate non-uniform), or cause them to
// disappear when they reach a certain height.
