Have you tried the set property action?

I noticed that the set property action does not have a listing for changing particle system shapes and that includes radius

I have successfully changed the following at runtime:

duration, lifetime, speed, size, color, emission rate but not radius :-(

Hi,

 this is something that will need to be done on a per particle. Is it ok if you start iterating trhough all the particles? how many particles do you plan on having when you change this radius?

bye,
