Move particle system as one entity
Hello everyone,
I couldn't find anything on this, so I made a new topic about it: I'm trying to make a plasma ball, with lightning shooting out of it, I got the lightning sorted, the only problem is when it moves, it leaves kind of a tail, seeing as the particles need some time to fade out.
Is there a way to make them move as 1 spherical entity? This is the pre 3.5 particle system btw, so not the Shuriken one or whatever it is called. I tried putting the particle force on -10, as I read somewhere on the forums here, but that didn't do much.
Thanks,
Davey
Particle emitters have a parameter to simulate in local space.
Tick that, and the particles will move along with the particle system's transform.
Cheers
It's a particle system and the particle system is in an empty game object, so I think so yes. I found it however, I simply had to disable 'Simulate in Worldspace'

Have you tried placing all the particles into an empty game object, then moving that instead?
If you uncheck Simulate in Worldspace, any spawned particles will follow the movements of their parent emitter. More details can be found here.
That worked, silly me, I went over all the options except for that one. Thank you very much
