setBlending() - (blendStatus?, [srcBlendFactor], [dstBlendFactor]) - Sets the Rendering Blend Options.

I'd love to be able to change particle sizes on the fly... i should check into that.. if you can change colors on the fly... why not size? Hopefully an answer will arise.

And i would like to change the colour of a whole particle system attached to a vehicle individually for each spawned vehicle - is there a way? Changing the colour of the datablock changes ALL particle systems :(

All you have to do is change the color in the particle editor. Set the alpha to negative (I think - othwise it's possitive) and you can then use the particle color.
