As far as I could tell, and keep saying, DP particles are busted. As a consequence, they aren't useful for anything except a static emitter that you never need to hide, delete, or anything fancy except for moving.

So, there is no way to delete a DP particle?

Anyone find a way?

No, particles cannot be deleted. The best you can do is reduce the emission to 0.

So what is wrong with phy delete emitter ID?

edit: It seems that phy delete emitter seems to work really well!
edit2: sorry about that i meant particle emitter and you thought that I was talking about the particles themselves.

I also tried around with the particles, but "phy delete emitter"-command looks not very nice, cause it deletes all particles immediately, no matter if they are still alive or not! That looks realy bad, for example when the whole smoke is gone from one sec. to the next! (Maybe I did something wrong, but I'm really sure everthing I did was correct!)

Ahh, but it doesnt matter for me. In my game there is a very thick fog so the range of view is very small. So, no worries there. Just have to be a little clever.

It's even worse than that Hoozer. When you recreate the emitter, all of the old particles that vanished instantly reappear, just long enough to look like crap.

That's why I can't use DP particles. TGC got it right with the original particles pack, I hope that they modify DP particles to match.

@ Cash: I know, I just forgot to mention it! (In my "PhysiX-Brick-Breakout"-Game I tried many options and things in the hope to use them a bit more "usefull" / effectively, but this things make them only good for static things that never need a change!) I still have the hope of an Update soon!
