Count Active Particles

Hello guys, little question,
I want to count the number of particles alive at a certain moment…
I kind of get that information with an extractor on the emitter with the “num particles Active”…
BUT its working only if I active the “show metrics” on the Particle Root…
Is there a an other way to get that information without having the metric showing up on the screen?

Thank you !

Hi, that is the case. What are you looking to do with the information? I’m wondering if there’s another way to achieve the same result.
