    Hi

    I used "ParticleSystem.enableEmission" to start/stop particle emission in code. The new system uses ParticleSystem.emission.enable to set emission status, but when i try to assign to true/false i get an error stating that is read only.

    Is there a way to code emission start / stop in v5.3+

    Thanks

    Have you tried the 'Stop()' method?

    My code was using the other mode, so would require more testing and i am looking at a similar feature.

    I will check this option out too, thanks

    For everyone else coming here: See http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/enabling-emission.364258/

    TL/DR:

    Code (CSharp):
    1. var emission = ps.emission;
    2. emission.enabled = false;
    No need to assign emission back to the particle system. (In fact, that's prohibited.)

    A more informative Obsolete message for enableEmission would be nice. Also, one without typo ;)
