# Particle (Effect Handler)

![The sparks on this saw are controlled by the Particle Handler.](https://4289778471-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-MVKw8MgRKSYbFzCqlnm%2F-MW55k5iUjQbeBuIwxVh%2F-MW58PR1_yIH4HSxCuwk%2Fparticle%20illustration.png?alt=media\&token=b377bd6c-e532-4f24-a9f8-7cd0ab879a62)

This component has two modes. 

* **Normal:** controls the assigned particle system. (Play Once command not available!)
* **Instantiate:** spawns a particle instance from the prefab.
* **Delay:** how long (in seconds) before the particle starts playing after it has been triggered.
