CAEmitterLayer emits random unwanted particles on touch events

Question

I\'m trying to set up a CAEmitterLayer to make a confetti effect, and I\'ve run into two issues:

1. Whenever I set the birthRate on my cell

Answer 1

.h file

 #import 

    @interface DWFParticleView : UIView

    -(void)setEmitterPositionFromTouch: (CGPoint*)t;
    -(void)setIsEmitting:(BOOL)isEmitting;

    @end

.m file

  #import "DWFParticleView.h"
    #import 

    @implementation DWFParticleView
    {
        CAEmitterLayer* fireEmitter; //1
    }

    -(void)awakeFromNib
    {
        //set ref to the layer
        fireEmitter = (CAEmitterLayer*)self.layer; //2
        //configure the emitter layer
        fireEmitter.emitterPosition = CGPointMake(50, 50);
        fireEmitter.emitterSize = CGSizeMake(10, 10);

        CAEmitterCell* fire = [CAEmitterCell emitterCell];
        fire.birthRate = 0;
        fire.lifetime = 1.5;
        fire.lifetimeRange = 0.3;
        fire.color = [[UIColor colorWithRed:255 green:255 blue:255 alpha:0.1] CGColor];
        fire.contents = (id)[[UIImage imageNamed:@"Particles_fire.png"] CGImage];
        [fire setName:@"fire"];

        fire.velocity =5;
        fire.velocityRange = 20;
        fire.emissionRange = M_PI_2;

        fire.scaleSpeed = 0.1;
        fire.spin = 0.5;

        fireEmitter.renderMode = kCAEmitterLayerAdditive;

        //add the cell to the layer and we're done
        fireEmitter.emitterCells = [NSArray arrayWithObject:fire];

    }

    + (Class) layerClass //3
    {
        //configure the UIView to have emitter layer
        return [CAEmitterLayer class];
    }

    -(void)setEmitterPositionFromTouch: (CGPoint*)t
    {
        //change the emitter's position
        fireEmitter.emitterPosition = (*t);
    }

    -(void)setIsEmitting:(BOOL)isEmitting
    {
        //turn on/off the emitting of particles
        [fireEmitter setValue:[NSNumber numberWithInt:isEmitting?100:0] forKeyPath:@"emitterCells.fire.birthRate"];
    }


    @end

I used this code for create a custom view and to emit particles on touch

Here is the call statement for emission of particle on touch

-(void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
    CGPoint p =  [[touches anyObject] locationInView:self.view];
     [fireView setEmitterPositionFromTouch: &p];
     [fireView setIsEmitting:YES];

}

may be it will work for you .
