I've recently been playing with particle effects, at times I want to stop a source placing new particles while still seeing existing ones. However if I give [part_source] an argument saying 0, this works, however I get a repeating message in the console claiming a 'stack underflow'. A few more particle chains and the patch will crash. Any idea how I can avoid this happening? God Bless Andrew

"stack underflow" is an exceedingly rare error message; perhaps more rare than the actual error, which afaik is never checked for.

do you mean "stack overflow" instead?

is there anything else in the error message?

what kind of crash? if this makes the pd error messages disappear, try using "pd -stderr" from a terminal. error messages will be in the terminal.
