how to align particle systems to an objects orientation as it moves?
Hi all, I have created a space ship and added thrusters in UNITY, however when the ship turns along the y axis the particle emitters continue to output in the same direction. Is there a setting in the particle system inspector that allows me to align the emitter world velocity to the alignment of the in game object or do i need to write a script? If so can you send me in the right direction? Thanks
By the way I have tried simulate in world space and this is not appropriate as when the ship rotates the weapon particles rotate with it if this is disabled.

Wow... I am an idiot lol. Just found out it was local velocity not world velocity i was after. Sorry bout that. Feel free to slate. Cheers

Right now im using stretched billboard to lock the particles alignment so they're always facing away from the emitter, but this has the stupid side effect of causing the particles to rotate when the emitter rotates. Did you also run into this problem and did local velocity fix it?
