Bug Particle system not showing any particles but playing

I'm trying to make an healing area, and I decided to use particles to make it. When the player throws a potion, the particles starts where it crashed. To initialize them, I use this code, attached to the potion:

Code (CSharp):

1. private void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D collision)
2.     {
3.         // Destroy if it doesn't touch the player
4.         if (collision.tag != "Player" && collision != null)
5.         {
6.             Destroy(gameObject);
7.         }
8.  
9.         // Make an healing area
10.         if (collision.tag == "Ground" || collision.tag == "Platform")
11.         {
12.             Instantiate(particle, healingPotion.position, Quaternion.identity);
13.         }
14.     }

Then, once it touches the ground, I use this code attached to a particles prefab to start emitting particles:

Code (CSharp):

1. if (!stopParticles)
2.         {
3.             particles.Play();
4.  
5.             Debug.Log("Playing particles");
6.         }
7.         else
8.         {
9.             particles.Stop();
10.             StartCoroutine(DestroyGameObject());
11.  
12.             Debug.Log("Stoping particles");
13.         }

I use a couple coroutines to stop emitting the particles.

The problem is that the code says the particles are emitting, but in the scene it says the particles count is zero. But once I select the particles in the heriarchy, I start seeing them and the count is not zero. Sometimes selecting them in the heriarchy doesn't work, tho, and I still don't see them.

Any idea on how to solve this? Thanks in advance!

 

From some quick Googling, I noted that if you call

Play 

without checking if it's already playing, it will not show up correctly. You probably want to check

isPlaying 

before setting them to

Play 

or

Stop

.

 

Thanks! I'll look into it.
