Can't Have An Independent Scenery Effect Loop? Sequencer Broken?

[Dupe2]

I'm trying to just set up a sequence of water jets for a pond, like a spiral, so I want it to just loop continuously independent of any rides. The self trigger/continuous function on the sequencer doesn't seem to do anything. I can click play sequence and it plays once but it will not loop.

Also I do not understand what is going on with the sequence time, there appears to be a minimum of nine seconds? So even if I could get it to loop continuously, it wouldn't actually be looping continuously like I want, since I don't want it to last that long...

And even if I could get it to loop continuously like I want, it STILL wouldn't really be doing what I want, since there's apparently also no way to overlap the end of one loop with the beginning of the next.

Basically you'd think it should be possible to get the behavior I want, you should be able to use a sequencer to set up an effect sequence that loops continuously and smoothly on its own without having to be triggered by a ride or anything.

Maybe I'm not understanding something and this is possible? Maybe someone can explain?

Ok, obviously as soon as I went back into the game I thought to check something, which was the "restrict activation times" setting.

I assumed the default settings for this were to be active during day, like when you would have guests, but instead they're for night, like I guess it's defaulted for setting up night lighting effects.

I thought everyone went home at night though? but I haven't gotten there yet. Disregard my complaint about the sequencer not looping though, it does and it even appears to overlap a tiny bit?

I still am suggesting that it would be nice to be able to control how much it overlaps the loop by.
