How to spawn particle at game start

Hi!
So to explain my question : i have a mesh-based particle which has got 4 sec lifetime and it only spawns 0.2 /second
My problem is: if i start the game i have to wait the first 4 seconds to make the particle spawn and that is not good for me. I would like to know if i missed a checkbox that allows a particle to spawn instantly after game start or do i have to use events with blueprints?
Thanks for the help!

Hey Eiachh,

Have you set it up within the blueprints to be attached to the node “Event Begin On Play”? If so, the particle effect will trigger when the game begins. If this is not what you’re looking for, please elaborate on the issue a bit more and provide some screenshots of your blueprint.

Thank you!

A particle effect will play instantly if the “Auto Activate” flag is checked on it.

If there’s still a delay after checking that, then there’s something else delaying its start.

Thanks a lot it worked they could give that a better name :slight_smile: or i should have more knowledge.
