GPU Particles

self:restart

Client

Restarts the emitter, clearing every live particle

local status = self:restart()

Fires particle:emit as the new cycle starts.

Fires on every call, even if the emitter was already emitting, because a new cycle begins each time.
Every live particle is cleared and the cycle starts again from the beginning.
Use it to replay a one-shot emitter straight after particle:finished.
