Adding a stock particle effect [Solved]

[Fengist]

Anyone have an easy way to add a stock particle effect to a transform?  Turn it off and on?

Thanks.

 

*edit*

Here's what I have that's not working:

                            float effectStrength = Mathf.Min((float)P, 1) * EffectThreshold;
                            effects = GetEffect();                            
                            var te = effects.Trail.emission;
                            effects.Trail.transform.position = this.part.FindModelTransform("exhaustTransform").position;
                            if (effectStrength > 0)
                            {
                                te.enabled = true;
                            }
                            else
                            {
                                te.enabled = false;
                            }
                            FASLog.Writelog("E " + effects.Trail.isEmitting);

with GetEffect() being

        public ValveEffect GetEffect()
        {
            GameObject effect = (GameObject)GameObject.Instantiate(Resources.Load("Effects/fx_gasBurst_white"));    
            ValveEffect vFx = new ValveEffect(effect);
            var tspeed = vFx.Trail.main.simulationSpeed;
            tspeed = 5;
            return vFx;
        }

No errors are produced anywhere, however, when examine the log I write to, isEmitting is false.

 

*edit* solved

Thot I had autoplay set to true.  Guess not.  I did this and it worked:

                            if (effectStrength > 0)
                                {
                                    te.enabled = true;
                                effects.Trail.Play(true);
                                }
                                else
                                {
                                    te.enabled = false;
                                effects.Trail.Play(false);
                            }
