I'm probably being a complete dumbass, but how do you stop particles? You got the start time attribute on the pasrticle shape, but what about a stop time? I want the particles to stop being emitted at a certain frame. Thanks!

you could key the number of emitted particles to 0

haha! I was being a complete dumbass! I'd already tried that, but I forgot that I had a duplicated emitter on top of the one I was keying, so I thought keying the rate wasn't doing anything!

Cheers
