Is it possible (for “Once” play mode) ?
-thanks
Hello @Ivan_Lytkin
There are four handles that lets you control over emitting particles.
Duration - for how long the emitter should emit particles.
Spawn Rate - how many particles to emit per second.
Max Particle Count - how many particles from this emitter can exist at the same time.
Particle Life Time - how long each spawned particle should live.
What does it mean?
Duration defines how many seconds should emitter spawns particles using Spawn Rate.
Example : Our duration to use spawn rate 1 sec. And we have 10 Particle Max.
If i set Spawn Rate to 1 than emitter emits 1 particle every second.
If i set Spawn Rate to 10 , Emitter emits 10 particle in a second. ( 1/10 = 0.1 seconds per particle)
If i set Spawn Rate to 20 , Emitter emits 10 particle in half a second. (1/20 = 0.05 seconds per particle)
Lets take a deep look to third configuration :
We emit 1 particle every 0.05 sec. , means we emit 10 particles in 0.5 sec.
So our emitter finished its job and have time(another 0.5 sec) to emit more particles.
Do we have more particles = NO but if our “Particle Life Time” is less than 1 sec , than destroyed particles comes back to emitter pool to emit again.

No problem @Ivan_Lytkin , its good to exercise on specific situations like this one.
Makes forum rich source of information.
