Hey guys, im new here and this has really been bugging me

I used some code made by another user on this site to create falling snow. It works perfectly but there’s one problem.

I want it to only play for a certain amount of frames, but i dunno how to make it stop or disappear, btw, its my animation is all on one scene.

Can anyone help?
