Emitting particles one by one ... 2003-12-12 - By Duncan Brinsmead

Yep, you've got it. The key is that by turning ON timeRandom you guarantee
that
you can emit exactly one particle.. no more no less.

Hi Duncan, I hunted around for "timeRandom" and came up with cycleEmision =
Frame (rather than none as it defaults too)... I got the emission working by
setting the following, is this what you were saying? I would guess it is as
it works....
100 *keyframe* [rate] = 0
101 *keyframe* [rate] = 30 -Emit one particle ...
102 *keyframe* [rate] = 0
110 *keyframe* [rate] = 0
111 *keyframe* [rate] = 30 -Emit one particle ...
112 *keyframe* [rate] = 0
cheers gary.
