Hello! Can I Setup particle to choose specific start frame for Emit()?
My ParticleSystem is decals in atlas, and I call this way:
- PS.Play()
- PS.Emit(EmitParams,1)
- PS.Stop()
And all work ok, but I wanna choose specific start frame for each particle, not breaking already spawned particles. I’ve don’t found public API for that. Is there any workaround (mb using StartFrame Curve + lifetime or calculate sepcific seed for particle, to force it choose specific frame)
Any help is apprecieted, good luck to all!
found workaround - i use ParticleSystemAnimationTimeMode.Speed , and set very low speed range, and and each particle get different speed (speedDelta - speedDelta*16 , for atlas of 16 sprites)
A coroutine could allow you to defer execution of this code
Hello! thanks for answer. At this moment everything looks as needed, except I don’t know, is ps really stopped after call play → emit → stop
1 - Need I to do coroutine delayed each call?
2 - Can I somehow check, that ps is not simulated after call stop?
Stop can either stop new births, or completely remove existing particles too: Unity - Scripting API: ParticleSystem.Stop
isStopped can check if the system is really stopped. Or isPlaying, if you care about the paused state too.
All here:
Really appreciete references, I’ll check this a bit later, big thank for information. Have a great day. Thank you, for particle system (:
