* **Assembly:** UnityEngine.ParticleSystemModule

```csharp
public float totalTime { get; }
```

### Remarks

Use this to read the current playback time. For looping systems, the returned value is not wrapped within the duration, unlike [\_time](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/particlesystem/time.md).
