Time between particle system emissions

[presh_unity]

Anyone know how to control time intervals between emissions in a particle system without changing the speed of the particle?

[Kurt-Dekker]

Turn off emit over time and emit over distance, then control it yourself in scripts by calling the .Emit() method and telling it how many particles to emit.

ParticleSystems (particlesystems): emitting in various positions in space (no play / stop):

Can't Play Unity Particle System WHEN I want and WHERE I want

I almost never start / stop my particle systems. Here's how I do what you want: craft your particle system mark it as Play on Awake set Emit over time and Emit over Distance --> ZERO Simulation space: World When you need a poof anywhere: move the particle system there align its rotation (such as for splashes away from water or a wall) call myParticleSystem.Emit( XXX); to emit XXX particles For something continuous like a flamethrower, you would set the emit over time to what you want, …
