I wondered if it was possible to pause an emitter for a while, and restart it later. I would like the particles in the system to continue to be actioned during this time, but I want to just stop the flow of new particles for a while. This is actually an interactive application and I only want the particles to be emitted when a key is pressed.

I've tried a few things already, like setCounter(Steady(0)), which doesn't appear to work when trying to change it back to a Steady(50) or something, and pause() but that stalls all the existing particles too, which isn't what I want. Is it possible to do this yet?

Thanks!
