    It looks like stop action destroy is not working when particle is set to loop. So even when we set emission to false and all particles disappear it will still stay in hierarchy.
    And when you disable loop than it will stay there for a while until it's duration runs out. (even thou there are no particles)

    A system set up like that will always be in its playing state. (i.e. how can we know you wont set emission to true later?)
    To use the stop action on a looping effect, you will need to use the ParticleSystem.Stop API instead, because the stop action responds to changes in the playing state, not whether or not the emission module is enabled.
