Unity makes it really easy to turn a component on and off. Most components have a property enabled that turns them active/inactive.

 //Example:
 function Start () {
       InvokeRepeating("FlipCollider" , 3 , 3);
       //Call every 3 seconds.
 }
 function FlipColider () {
       collider.enabled = !collider.enabled;
       //flips the current value.  Makes it the opposite of what it currently is.
       //Most components either have an enabled or active(obsolete) property.

       particleSystem.enableEmmission = !particleSystem.enableEmmission;
       //The new Shuriken system has a slightly different name for enabled though.
 }

I cant get it to make the flame ver die for the 3 seconds i have found another code that works but i cant manage to get it to work as a loop. // Emit particles for 3 seconds particleEmitter.emit = true;yield WaitForSeconds(3); // Then stop particleEmitter.emit = false;

Oh your using the legacy particle emitter. Just replace the your line for the last line of instructions in mine.

I have place it just like this on the innerCore and outterCore of my fire particle effect and it never makes it change. function Start () { InvokeRepeating("FlipCollider" , 10 , 10); //Call every 3 seconds. } function FlipColider () { collider.disable = !collider.disable; //flips the current value. Makes it the opposite of what it currently is. //Most components either have an enabled or active(obsolete) property. particleEmitter.emit = false;yield WaitForSeconds(10); }

1. your not flipping anything. Flipping is setting it to equal the opposite of itself. You're just setting emit to false. You need to do: particleEmitter.emit = !particleEmitter.emit;
