ParticleSystem.startLifetimethrew script? :)

Hey, so i tried using this, but i get error. So how do i change Particles startLifeTime threw script?

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. IEnumerator FlamesDeath()
3.     {
4.         yield return new WaitForSeconds (0.3f);
5.         ParticleSystem.Particle.lifetime = 2f;
6.         yield return new WaitForSeconds (0.3f);
7.         ParticleSystem.Particle.lifetime = 1f;
8.         yield return new WaitForSeconds (0.2f);
9.         ParticleSystem.Particle.lifetime = 0.5f;
10.         yield return new WaitForSeconds (0.1f);
11.         ParticleSystem.Particle.lifetime = 0.0f;
12.  
13.     }[code]
14.  
15. -THANKS!:)

 

what error do you get?

you're also changing lifetime not "startLifeTime" in that code... care to elaborate on what you are trying to achieve?

 

Ups, i pasted wrong code.

error: An object reference is required to access non-static member `UnityEngine.ParticleSystem.Particle.lifetime'

Well, how do i acces the particle system? GetComponent?

Code:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. IEnumerator FlamesDeath()
3.     {
4.         yield return new WaitForSeconds (0.3f);
5.         ParticleSystem.startLifetime = 2f;
6.         yield return new WaitForSeconds (0.3f);
7.         ParticleSystem.startLifetime = 1f;
8.         yield return new WaitForSeconds (0.2f);
9.         ParticleSystem.startLifetime = 0.5f;[code][/I][/B]

 

yes you need to be referencing a specific particle system not the class.

If this script is being attached to the gameobject with the particle system component I think you could just use lower case p particleSystem (i.e. like transform is the local transform reference)... if that doesn't work you'll need to use getcomponent and grab a reference.

 

It worked. Thanks)
