Hi folks,

I’m experimenting with the Niagara UI plugin and I want to animate the background with a simple niagara particle system.
The UI is a pause menu, so when I pause the game the niagara system is paused too.

Mate… i know i am late, like 2 years late… but. I had this question too.
Apparently there is the answer in their documentation

You should use the Node “Update Tick when Paused” from the Widget component (not from the niagara component of the widget).

Hope this will be of use for future fellows with this issue.
