Hello everybody!

I would like to know how to save the current state of the particle system so that later I can load them the same way they were.

Can you help me please?

I don't think there is a normal way to do that, but there is a hacky way. You can start timer when particle starts emission, and get a time when You want to freeze your particle state. You can then use this time as preprocessproperty in particle. This property simulates a state particles would have after certain amount of time
