disable/enable/hide particle system

I need to disable/enable/hide/unhide particle system at any time.
How can I do that?

I think you can to do this with this method in Core/SPK_Renderer.h

void setActive(bool active);

Apply to all renderer that you want enable/disable in any system or group.

Else implement a new bool or mask in order to enable/disable the render of system.

If you are rendering and updating manually:

Code:

// In your app loop:
    if(systemIsEnabled) system->update(deltaT);
    if(systemIsVisible) system->render();

If you're using Irrlicht:

Code:

    SPK::IRRSystem* system;

    // ...

// Anywere you want
    system->setVisible(v); // v = false to hide it, true to show it
    system->setAutoUpdateEnabled(aue); // aue = false to disable, true to enable the system

@takezo02: Calling setActive on a renderer will only activate/deactivate a specific renderer, and that is useful if you want to disable only some parts of your system. I think mmortall asked for a solution hiding/showing the whole system...

Thank your very mach for your help. My mistake was in using System class (no IRRSystem).

You're welcome!

Btw, the first solution I wrote is only requiring SPK::System
