Pause(bool)
Pauses the system so no new particles are emitted and the existing particles are not updated.
public void Pause(bool withChildren)
Parameters
Pause all child Particle Systems as well.
Remarks
Additional Resources: ParticleSystem.Play, ParticleSystem.Stop functions.
The following example creates a GUI window for manipulating a Particle System.
Examples
using UnityEngine;public class ParticleSystemControllerWindow : MonoBehaviour{ ParticleSystem system { get { if (_CachedSystem == null) _CachedSystem = GetComponent<ParticleSystem>(); return _CachedSystem; } } private ParticleSystem _CachedSystem; public Rect windowRect = new Rect(0, 0, 300, 120); public bool includeChildren = true; void OnGUI() { windowRect = GUI.Window("ParticleController".GetHashCode(), windowRect, DrawWindowContents, system.name); } void DrawWindowContents(int windowId) { if (system) { GUILayout.BeginHorizontal(); GUILayout.Toggle(system.isPlaying, "Playing"); GUILayout.Toggle(system.isEmitting, "Emitting"); GUILayout.Toggle(system.isPaused, "Paused"); GUILayout.EndHorizontal(); GUILayout.BeginHorizontal(); if (GUILayout.Button("Play")) system.Play(includeChildren); if (GUILayout.Button("Pause")) system.Pause(includeChildren); if (GUILayout.Button("Stop Emitting")) system.Stop(includeChildren, ParticleSystemStopBehavior.StopEmitting); if (GUILayout.Button("Stop & Clear")) system.Stop(includeChildren, ParticleSystemStopBehavior.StopEmittingAndClear); GUILayout.EndHorizontal(); includeChildren = GUILayout.Toggle(includeChildren, "Include Children"); GUILayout.BeginHorizontal(); GUILayout.Label("Time(" + system.time + ")"); GUILayout.Label("Particle Count(" + system.particleCount + ")"); GUILayout.EndHorizontal(); } else GUILayout.Label("No Particle System found"); GUI.DragWindow(); }}
