Examples

using UnityEngine; // A particle sprite example of isPlaying. A button is created // that shows whether the Particle System is running.  If not, then // it can be started.  If it is running then it can be stopped.using UnityEngine;[RequireComponent(typeof(ParticleSystem))]public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour{    public Texture2D tex;    private ParticleSystem ps;    private Sprite sprite;    void Start()    {        ps = GetComponent<ParticleSystem>();        sprite = Sprite.Create(tex, new Rect(0.0f, 0.0f, tex.width, tex.height), Vector2.zero);        var textureSheetAnimation = ps.textureSheetAnimation;        textureSheetAnimation.enabled = true;        textureSheetAnimation.mode = ParticleSystemAnimationMode.Sprites;        textureSheetAnimation.AddSprite(sprite);    }    void OnGUI()    {        if (ps.isPlaying)        {            if (GUI.Button(new Rect(10, 70, 150, 50), "Stop and clear"))            {                ps.Stop(true, ParticleSystemStopBehavior.StopEmittingAndClear);            }        }        else        {            if (GUI.Button(new Rect(10, 70, 150, 50), "Play"))            {                ps.Play(false);            }        }    }}
