NewScene , false

' First, create a particle cloud
set myParticleCloud = CreateParticleCloud()(0)
set myParticleEmitter = CreatePrim( "Sphere", "MeshSurface", "ParticleEmitter" )
AddParticleEmitter myParticleCloud, myParticleEmitter

' Go to frame 40 and create an initial state for the cloud
SetValue "PlayControl.Key", 40
SetValue "PlayControl.Current", 40
refresh
SetParticleInitState myParticleCloud , 1

' Disconnect that initial state
DisconnectParticleInitState myParticleCloud

' Get the initial state property
set InitState = Dictionary.GetObject(myParticleCloud & "_InitState")
