I have a particle System that is supposed to emit particles if certain conditions hold and should do nothing otherwise. The conditions may change arbitrarily. Rather than spawning a new emitter everytime, I try to activate and deactivate the UParticleSystemComponent on demand, but I constantly run into “read access violation” errors. When I check the UParticleSystemComponent in the VS debugger, it still seems to be there, therefore I assume it is actually deleted. How can I prevent this deletion upon deactivate?
If I don’t deactivate the particles systems and just have them spawn constantly, I don’t get the issues.
