How enable and disable Emission in execution?

I don’t remember whether you can activate specific modules through scripting, but I don’t believe you can. Shuriken API support is somewhat limited.

When I need a toggleable emission, I script it by manually calling emission:

myParticleSystem.Emit(count);

Also, I suppose you could set the emission rate property to zero temporarily. It is sometimes convenient to use the particle system’s emission rate in the manual emission call:

myParticleSystem.Emit(myParticleSystem.emissionRate);

I can’t remember if it’s actually “emissionRate” but you’ll see the right property when you hunt through the code completion suggestions.
