Question by lastprogrammer · Feb 21, 2013 at 09:48 PM · particlesshurikenmethod

ParticleSystem.Stop() method Deletes Object

So I am using the Shuriken Particle System and when I call the method Stop() on it, the entire game object is deleted. Is this normal behavior?

I thought the behavior should be like the old system, where I used to call ParticleEmitter.emit = false. And this would turn off any more particles from being emitted per frame.

But the Shuriken system doesn't seem to have the same functionality. All I want is to be able to turn off the Particle System from emitting any more particles, and then be able to turn it on again.

I have tried using Pause(), but that just pauses the particles; it does not stop them from being emitted. And I have tried using Stop(), but that just deletes the entire object; which is not what I am looking for.

Any help would be appreciated.

I think there is an auto destroy variable that could be causing this, but i am not quite sure.

Ok, So I looked again at my particle system and there was a third party monobehavior attached to the game object that was deleting the object after the particles stop. Removing this monobehavior lets the particle system behave normally.

Thanks everyone!
