[Solved]Is it possible to pause particles?

[Roderick]

I'd like to be able to tell the particle system to stop (no new particles, no changes to existing particles) until I tell it to start again.

Is this possible?

Edit:
I tested it myself, it's what you are looking for.
Useful for people who want to pause their game and have particles running at the same time.

Can't say for sure until I get home from work, but that sure looks like what I need. Thanks.
