Question How do I check if VFX is playing?

Hey guys, I was trying to figure out how to check if vfx is playing other than the APIs mentioned here.
https://docs.unity3d.com/2022.1/Documentation/ScriptReference/VFX.VFXSpawnerState.html

which I couldn't figure out how to yet.

Anyone know how?

Much appreciated.

I kind of feel that vfx.IsPlaying() bool API should be present by default...

check vfx.HasAnySystemAwake I think it should works fine

 

Beware of using VisualEffect.HasAnySystemAwake() when the VFX Graph has a spawn delay for all their particle spawn systems. Then the method returns false. And continiously calling Play() restarts the effect so this state is maintained.

I solved this with integrating a minimalistic fake system in the VFX Graph with spawning only one particle to enable returning true by HasAnySystemAwake until other particles are spawned:
