Modding FX - Doesn't work

[d_s___3]

I have a problem...

I tired everything but I can't solve it.The particles don't stay on their place.I want a normal engine plume.

Hi to get the  exhaust plume to stick to the engine  you need to  uncheck  simulate in world space, doing so forces  the FX  to be simulated in local space and  to stay attached to the nozzle .   To test in unity  create a simple particle effect  with simulate in worldspace checked  and move it around the screen , now do the same with the value unchecked and notice the difference in behavior

Thank you so much !

I noticed your trouble with thrust. Unless you already figured it out, the way to fix it is to set your config to use a GameObject within the engine part, not the name of the particle's GameObject.

• You have thrustVectorTransformName = particleFX
• You should have thrustVectorTransformName = thrustTransform
