[SOLVED] Need help with emitter class, how to emit particles at the start?

[BunBunBun]

Hi all,

I want to modify a bit the emitter, for example this:

http://phaser.io/examples/v2/particles/snow

 

but for example if we want to set positions of particles at the creating of stage, no want to wait while the snow will fill the screen:

back_emitter.forEach(function(particle) {
	particle.x = game.rnd.integerInRange(0, game.WIDTH);
	particle.y = game.rnd.integerInRange(0, game.HEIGHT);
	particle.body.velocity.y = game.rnd.integerInRange(140, 240);
});

But looks like that velocity don't work. What's wrong with code?

what I trying to do: imagine that need to do "snow already is going on the screen" no just "snow is started".

so I want to place particles first, then say "go!".

simple solution:

for(var i = 0; i < 50; i++){
   back_emitter.emitParticle(randPosX,randPosX);
}

I think your first example would have worked with

particle.exists = true;

@samme yep! also works. Thanks!
