event.Particle is an Handle of the particle. Read event.Particle.x or event.Particle.y to determine the particle’s current position, for example.
Got it.
What if want to access other properties (scaleMax,…o of my particle I defined
Particles.CreateParticleType ("MyParticleType1",
{
imagePath = "arrow.png",
imageWidth = 32,
mycustomdata = 1 -- I want to access this one

No one in this forum ?
Talking about Particle Event and listener functions when any of their emitted particles have been killed (expired) : I"d like to add some parameters (other than .scale,… : something like event.mydata) , how could I tweak the library ?

Hello Antheor!
I’m using physics particles in my game and you can use custom properties for those at least.
You could do something like this:
Particles.CreateParticleType ("MyLaserParticle",
{
imagePath = "assets/particles/redlaser.png",
imageWidth = 8,
imageHeight = 15,
velocityStart = 600,
autoOrientation = true,
killOutsideScreen = false,
lifeTime = 3000,
alphaStart = 0.8,
blendMode = "add",
colorStart = {255, 0, 0},
-- APPLY PHYSICS:
PhysicsMaterial = { density = 0, friction = 0, bounce = 0 },
PhysicsProperties = {
filter = {},
isFixedRotation = true,
isSleepingAllowed = false,
bodyType = "dynamic",
isSensor = true,
ID = object.ammoID, -- ID for the ammo (for example "playerAmmo")
damage = object.damage, -- custom property: damage for the particle type
dieOnImpact = true, -- custom property: destroy particle on impact
gravityScale = 0
}
} )
local Particle = nil
-- check who's particle this is
if event.object1.ID == "playerAmmo" then Particle = event.object1; end;
if event.object2.ID == "playerAmmo" then Particle = event.object2; end;
-- check if player's particle hits the enemy...
-- reduce enemy health
enemy.health = enemy.health - Particle.damage -- here we use custom property "damage" Hope this helps!

Thx for the answer, I’ll check this solution 
Actually, I 'd like to use those physic particles with the SetEmitterListener. Any idea how could I do this ?
In particle candy sample code (as in yours, iy seems), it uses a Runtime:addEventListener( “collision”, onCollision ).
