paritcle system sorting layer and order ignored
There have been quite a few questions about this, but none of the answers seem to work.
In my 2D Game I have multiple sorting layers like ground, vfx, characters and top environment.
I am instantiating particle systems and I want them to be rendered between gound and top, so I set the renderers sorting layer to be "vfx". However this setting is ignored and the particle system is displayed behind all other objects despite the render settings.
I have tried to set the materials renderQueue value to a lower and higher value (defaults to 2450), but this does not show any changes either. When I change the position z-axis, it works but then the particles are displayed on top of everything and since it's a 2D game I want to avoid doing this.
I am really lost on how to fix this behaviour since noone else seems to have it.
Unfortunately I cannot upload any pictures so if anyone reads this and needs pictures, I will link them at your request.
Same problem, sorting layers are ignored apparently. Whatever way it works, it's way too complicated and unintuitive. Unity 2019.1.11
What worked for me was changing the shader used for the material in the particle system to a sprite shader.
I don't know how that impacts anything else... but at least I can adjust the sorting layer and have it work.
Find "Render" in the particle component and should be the layer system there to select from
