Sure you can make it inactive:

1) Set the particle to "Continuous spray" in the object type properties.

2) In the particle actions, under "Particle Spray" use the "Set spraying" action and set to "Not Spraying".

If you are using it as an engine flare then you will also want to add the pin behaviour to the particle object, move it to engine at the start of the layout and pin it to the engine.

Okay, managed to get continuous particles working:

You can drag the asteroid around the ship and the particles will follow the collision point.

Here's an example:

Left or right click on the bars to change the values.

X is the maximum value of SP and SM e.g.

If SP and SM can each have a maximum value of 150 each then the equation would be:

int(100*(SP+SM)/300)

ideally you would hold those max values in variables, so the equation would be:

int(100*(SP+SM)/(SPmax+SMmax))

On start:

set percent to int(100*(SP+SM)/(2*X))

set text to percent&"%"

On any trigger event where SP or SM change:

set percent to int(100*(SP+SM)/(2*X))

set text to percent&"%"

This assumes that X is the maximum value that SP and SM can have.

dop2000 Very cool! I'll have a fiddle around with this and see if I can adapt it for continuous particles, so you can get some neat scraping effects when sprite slide across each other.

Cheers I'm not sure how well it would work for two complex shapes (say two stars) colliding, where the actual collision point could be a way off from the origin-to-origin intersection. Still, it's useful for simple scenarios.

I used this solution for a laser beam:

I'm guessing you can reuse this technique of stepping back in a loop for any object.

I think you need to be using the tiled background object for that tutorial rather than the tilemap object.
