Emitter Duration not working?

Hi all,

Have been working on the particle emitter, noted that i cannot control the duration of the emission, whatever setting i put in 'emitter duration' it seems it's ignored. Any ideas?

Thanks

Essentially the emitter has a lifetime and the particle has a lifetime. The emitter will apply the settings on the emitter page over it's life and then repeat as often as it's set to repeat. If you want to stop the emitter after the time you need to set the repetitions to 1.

Thanks! Emmiter Loops value doesn't get saved from what i can see. It always goes back to zero, is this normal?

Hey guys, anyone can confirm this? 'Emitter Loops' don't get saved in my 5.0.1

great, thanks for that! Since we are on the subject just a reminder for a display issue in emitter tab:
