Messing with VFX Graph time scale/playback rate

Unity Forum user Olmi did a nice code snippet for this

https://forum.unity.com/threads/what-is-the-right-way-to-pause-particles.837889/


using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.VFX;

public class vfxgraph_playrate : MonoBehaviour
{
    [SerializeField] float timeScale = 1.0f;
    [SerializeField] VisualEffect VFX;

    void Start()
    {
        VFX = GetComponent<VisualEffect>();
    }

    void Update()
    {
        VFX.playRate = timeScale;
    }
}

NEAT AS HECK. WHY ISN'T THIS A NODE IN VFX GRAPH?

How to set values for your custom properties in VFX Graph. Yeah, there are binders, but I find they expect a rather precise  way of working.. Making your own scripts forces Unity to do what you actually want haha. In my VFX graph, I have a VECTOR 3 value named "realSpawnPos" which I'm using as the spawn position for some particles. It's important to note that "position", whilst it is a Vector3.. doesn't like receiving Vector 3 values. So make sure you set it up as a Vector 3 in the VFX graph. Further to this - Make sure in the VFX Graph, your position node is set to WORLD, if you need to set/get/whatever the world position and not local... your objects are probably nested in a million groups/transforms..   using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Generic; using UnityEngine; using UnityEngine.VFX; public class bindPosition : MonoBehaviour {     public GameObject target_thing;     public VisualEffect visualEffect;     void Update()     {
