Description

Should particles be automatically emitted each frame?

function Start() {
	var emitter = GetComponent.<ParticleEmitter>();
	
	// Emit particles for 3 seconds...
	emitter.emit = true;
	yield WaitForSeconds(3);
	
	// ...then stop.
	emitter.emit = false;
}
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour { IEnumerator Start() { ParticleEmitter emitter = GetComponent<ParticleEmitter>(); emitter.emit = true; yield return new WaitForSeconds(3); emitter.emit = false; } }
