# Particle System Update

Apply this behavior to any Particle System object to force it to update with Timeflow.&#x20;

{% hint style="success" %}
Right-click an object in the Timeflow view and select:\
**Add Tool > Particle System Update**
{% endhint %}

By default, a Particle System only updates in edit mode when the game object is selected. To make the particle simulate whenever Timeflow is played, add this component to the object.

{% hint style="info" %}
Note that particles only update when playing Timeflow and not when manually setting the current time or dragging the playhead.
{% endhint %}
