I've recently bought Obi Fluid and I'm making an oil leak. I wanted to know if there was a way to pause the emitter after one complete emission cycle, and have it stay as it was paused until resolved. If not, is there a way I can do this using references from the source code?

Thanks,

Alex.

It works kinda like a faucet: speed controls both output velocity as well as amount of particles emitted per second, to ensure as few discontinuities in the flow as possible.

Thanks for the quick reply. I've just tried this and I can see the particles have stopped. However, the existing particles are still moving about. I was wondering how to freeze their motion so they stay in a fixed position after a certain amount of time has passed.

Thanks.

If you want individual particles to freeze in place after a fixed amount of time has passed for each one, then you'd have to implement this yourself using the particles API:
