默认播放特效时，会有一秒的延迟，如果想让粒子生成后立即播放，需要进行以下设置：
1，点击例子系统编辑界面最右侧的黑色空闲区域

2，然后在Detail面板中找到Warmup Time参数，修改为1。默认为0

Particle in C++

Issue: SpawnEmitterAttached 创建出来的粒子特效体积被放大

问题表现： 使用UGameplayStatics::SpawnEmitterAttached创建的粒子尺寸大小异常，变得非常大，比SpawnEmitterAtLocation()创建出来的粒子大差不多六七倍。

解决办法：

UParticleSystemComponent::bAbsoluteScale = true;

例子：

UParticleSystemComponent* PSC = UGameplayStatics::SpawnEmitterAttached(ParticleTemplate, Unit->GetMesh());
PSC->SetAbsolute(false, false, true);

How to play and destroy particle

Play particle:

UParticleSystemComponent* ParticleIns = UGameplayStatics::SpawnEmitterAtLocation(this, EmitterTemplate, Loc, Rot);

Destroy particle:

ParticleIns->DestroyComponent();

How to play Niagara FX using C++

UNiagaraComponent* NiagaraComp = UNiagaraFunctionLibrary::SpawnSystemAtLocation();
UNiagaraComponent* NiagaraComp = UNiagaraFunctionLibrary::SpawnSystemAttached()

Destroy Niagara:

NiagaraComp->DestroyComponent();

C++获取特效实例中的单个Emitter对象

UParticleSystemComponent 有个EmitterInstances属性，里面包含了特效中每个Emitter的相关信息：

TArray<struct FParticleEmitterInstance*> EmitterInstances;
