Is there anyway to use the behavior script's "recording start" trigger a particle system?

I inherited a project where the client use a particle system as an animation using tweens he wants it to be triggered when the user starts recording. He wants to have the the "animation" (particular system) only start when the user starts recording but the "animation" is really just a particle system being moved by a tween. Is there any way to trigger this particle system using the "recording start" as a trigger?

    Hey Colin! 

    In the latest 2.1 update to Lens Studio, I noticed they added some triggers to the behavior script! One of them is Recording Start. You can then either set the response to Set Enabled and enable your particle system, or Run Tween to start playing your tween animation! 

    Let me know if you have any questions.
