Hello,

In the Intermediate Example "Floating Orb Template", there's a portion of code that I don't get (cap1)

Why use a timer to destroy the object instead of just destroying it instantly (cap2)?

Could someone help me understand why the developer did it this way?

Thanks

Without the timer all particles would instantly disappear when the orb hits a wall. This way they linger around which looks much better. Give it a try and set the timer duration to 0 seconds, you should notice the difference pretty clearly.
