Erase individual Particles in VR

Hello everyone,

I am trying to achieve something like tiltbrush. That means I can draw in VR with particles and also delete them at specific locations.

I already created a particle system which spawns particles at the position of my motion controller.

Now I want to delete some of these just spawned particles, but I dont know how?

Is it even possible to just select some of those single particles.

Thanks everyone every help would be appreciated.

Can’t you just destroy actor?

If i destroy the actor all of my particles are gone. Iam trying to create something like an eraser for particles

Sorry i don’t think my whole reply made it through. I was thinking from an Artists perspective maybe instead of having a particle system that spawns particles for the amount of duration you click you could have a particle system that only spawns 1 individual particle but in really small intervals controlled through your click (like a spawn rate) but instead of having that spawn rate dictated by the PS you are creating more emitters with just 1 particle and as long as you’re holding your controller the more PS you make with 1 single Particle.

So now instead of trying to delete individual particles from inside a system you can actually destroy whole systems that are inside your radius and since they are spawning 1 single particle then you don’t end up killing everything else with it too.

Its just an idea.
