Hello all

I’m trying to achieve some effect with particles and I need some help. I need the particles to not dissapear when their live time is complete, but stay in their final properties but with no more updates (transformation, color, etc).

Anyone knows how to do it?

thanks

You can use “phase” method.

with initialize you particle animator:

and update:

0 represents the beginning of an animation clip, 1 represents the end.

Thank you for your answer GoroMatsumoto, but this is not what I asked.

What you are saying make the whole animation to stop at 1. But what I want is that every particle, when finish the duration (that can be different for each one), do not dissapear.

And I’m not saying that I want a loop… For example if I have a particle that finish in time == 2, but the whole animation of particles is time == 4, I want this particle to stay visible with with last properties.

Recently, I don’t touch particle system, so I can’t say yes with confidence.
But maybe you can.

If you have not search in EffectHub about the issue, try to dig it.

And you can tinker particle properties with GUI on Sparticle.

Good luck.

Thanks, I’ll take a look. I was trying to get into the inner code of the particles to make a hack, but it is not trivial :-(
