How to know the position of a particle when it stops moving

Hi, I'm trying to make a persistant particle system using meshes. The point is that animating particles through code is not easy for me, so I would like to use the particle system from unity, but that's not quite performant in my project due to the amount of particles being draw. I hardly never work with the particle system so I'm not familiar with it.

What I would like to know is if there is some way to get the position and rotation of every particle when it stops moving. Knowing that, I can "add it to a mesh" and then destroy the particle system.

Any suggestion or advice is appreciated, thanks!

 

Particles do, in fact, have a collider system with the sub emitters. You can add a sub emitter and place your colliders to capture the particles as they hit and obtain that data.

 

You're right, I don't know why it doesn't come to mind. I think it would do the trick, Thanks.

 

honestly I work with particles through SetActive

that`s small example from my simple game which I create and teach

Code (CSharp):

1. //particle effect ornage morkovka
2.     public GameObject fruitboxpe;
3.  
4.     //particle effect red morkovka
5.     public GameObject fruitpe2;
6.  
7.     //gribs particle effects
8.     public GameObject gribseffectactivate;
9.  
10.     //gribs deactivate particle effects
11.     public GameObject gribsdeactivateeffect;
12.  
13.     public AudioSource fruitground;
14.     public AudioSource pointscore;
15.  
16.     // Use this for initialization
17.     void Start()
18.     {
19.         theGM = FindObjectOfType<GameManager>();
20.         //theGMscore = FindObjectOfType<GameManager>();
21.  
22.         //partical effects
23.         fruitboxpe.SetActive(false);
24.         fruitpe2.SetActive (false);
25.  
26.         gribseffectactivate.SetActive(false);
27.         gribsdeactivateeffect.SetActive(false);
28.     }
29.
