How to stop a custom particle from spawning with random sizes

Im modding 1.16.5 with mcreator 2024.3 with 1.16.5 generator.

I'm trying to replicate how barriers use a particle to be shown to the player. I set the scale to 2, but it still does that. I was wondering if there is way to change the code to fix this? Here's the existing code for the particle:

Also heres the call code

if (world instanceof ServerWorld)
				((ServerWorld) world).spawnParticle((BasicParticleType) (InvisiblelightModParticleTypes.LIGHT_15_PARTICLE.get()), (x + offset), (y + offset), (z + offset), 1, 0, 0, 0, 0);

I found the fix, you need to change the particle scale to set (=) instead of multiply and set (*=)

//old
		this.particleScale *= 2f;
		
//new
		this.particleScale = 0.5f;

Also, for Mcreator 2024.4

(I'm using neoforge 1.21.1)

Instead of 'this.particleScale *=' it is now 'this.quadSize *='

and for the particle to have it's correct size, you have to divide your input by 4

(just thought I'd add this in here for a bit of extra help :P)
