Is it possible to only stop emission, while keeping the already emitted particles alive until their lifetime ends? Kind of like turning a tap on and off without destroying the water already in the sink.
Hi!
Emission is controlled via the emitter's "speed" property. This works exactly like a faucet: it determines the speed at which fluid flows out of the emitter, and as a result, the volume of fluid/amount of particles per second. See: http://obi.virtualmethodstudio.com/manua...tters.html
Just set speed to zero to stop emission, then back to whatever value it had to resume it.
kind regards,
