How to start/stop emitting from script? - emz06 - 20-04-2020
Hi,
I went through the tutorials on YouTube and the documentation on your website, but I can't find anything related to how to start/stop particles from script.
How do I start/stop emitting? From which component is this done?
Thanks

The emitter component has a “speed” variable that controls emission speed in m/s. Works just like a real-world faucet: more speed = more fluid volume per second. See:

So just set it to zero to stop emitting fluid, back to the value you desire to resume emission.
