Particles.js: Stopping the Animation from javascript

[XRyu]

Hi,
Is there any chance to stop the animation using javascript, after it started running?
I tried to find the Code inside your Examples GUI, but was unable to find how you disable the animation afterwards..

Hey @XRyu ,

You can do it by this way:

pJSDom[0].pJS.particles.move.enable = false;

To restart:

pJSDom[0].pJS.particles.move.enable = true;
pJSDom[0].pJS.fn.particlesRefresh();

If you want to destroy it, see https://github.com/VincentGarreau/particles.js/issues/63#issuecomment-242977446

Is there a similar method for turning interactivity on and off?

pJSDom[0].pJS.interactivity.events.onclick["enable"] = false;

Is it possible to pause the movement, and then re-enable it without refreshing?

I want to pause an animation while the user is scrolling.

pause() {
      this._tempFn = this.pJS.fn.vendors.draw
      window.pJSDom[0].pJS.fn.vendors.draw = () => {
      }
    }
    play() {
      window.pJSDom[0].pJS.fn.vendors.draw = this._tempFn
      window.pJSDom[0].pJS.fn.vendors.draw()
    }
