A SKEmitterNode object is a node that automatically creates and renders small particle sprites. Particle sprites are privately owned by Sprite Kit—your game cannot access the generated sprites. For example, this means you cannot add physics shapes to particles. Emitter nodes are often used to create smoke, fire, sparks, and other particle effects. Available in iOS 7.0 and later.

Manipulate particles spawned by SKEmitterNode
I want to emit particles using SKEmitterNode within a macOS app to create an effect similar to rain. No problem so far.

Run SKemitter Once?
Is there a way to only run a SKemitter one time? I have a explosion when it is colliding with another node. The problem is that the explosion happens multiple times since it hits multiple times. How would I go about only running it once time?
