**Initializers** control the states of particles such as position, velocity, size, and so on when the particles are first spawned. They have no effect on particles spawned on previous frames.

-Some [updaters](updaters.md) act change the particle's value at the *end* of the frame. They effectively overwrite any initial values set by a similar initializer. Such is the case with all animations. They operate on the particle's lifetime and a color animation updater will overwrite any initial values from a color initializer.

Similarly, initializers which operate on the same field are exclusive and only the bottom one will have any effect, since they are executed in order. For example if you assign two color initializer, only the second one will have any effect.]

| Fixed count | By default particles will appear on the arc at distances enough for the maximum number of particles to fit exactly on the line. If you want to control spawn rate and distance, you can set how many fixed "positions" are there on the arc. For example, with a fixed count of 10 and Ordered spawning, the first 10 particles will appear in order, then the 11th particle will appear from the beginning, at the same position as the first, and so on.
