Why does spawn affect PhysX behaviour, when PhysX is deactivated?

[Alexx31]

Is this what you want?

In this file, a particle is being driven by PhysX, then spawn )at frame 15), and preserves the PhysX motion from previous one.

I've tested further: 
- I have set a float, which changes the material after spawn (in order to make them invisible).

Attached a new file!  (v1.024)

And got new question
- Is it possible to reset the Particle Age within the same event? (I know it's possible to restart when it enters a new event)
I have searched also in the Script operator, but did not find "SetParticleAge..."
(never worked with "Script" before, but think I should look into it)

or

- Is it possible to increase a float not by ticks but by frames?
When I check increase, it is increasing based on ticks. So when I would change the Simulation step size, it would alter the value.
My aim is to build a "time test", which counts since the frame when an attribute has been defined.
(reason: this would come handy in some tricky situations when I want to keep particles within one event but treat differently)

Thanks...
