ParticleSystem does not contain a definition for minEmission error

Question

Hi I fixed a lot of my compile errors but this one I don't understand. I changed ParticleEmission to ParticleSystem to fix the compile error, and then it said ParticleSystem doesnt contain a definition for minEmission.

error CS1061: Type UnityEngine.ParticleSystem' does not contain a definition for minEmission' and no extension method minEmission' of type UnityEngine.ParticleSystem' could be found. Are you missing an assembly reference?

 meshParticles.transform.GetChild (0).GetComponent<ParticleSystem> ().minEmission = laserDistance * 3;
 meshParticles.transform.GetChild (0).GetComponent<ParticleSystem> ().maxEmission = laserDistance * 3;

It looks like minEmission is now deprecated... Perhaps this could help?

ParticleSystem.emission

Yes that helps, thanks. That doesnt mention about the min and max emission though. Would that be set using ParticleSystem.Burst(); ?

I think I fixed it. Does this look right?

 ParticleSystem ps = GetComponent<ParticleSystem> ();
                 var em = ps.emission;
 
                 em.enabled = true;
                 em.SetBursts(
                     new ParticleSystem.Burst[]{
                         new ParticleSystem.Burst(laserDistance * 3, 100),
                         new ParticleSystem.Burst(laserDistance * 3, 100)
                     });
