Do you mean particles as in Gameobjects?

Or particles as in particle system?

Make a Gameobject to hold the particle system.

On that game object, you can have a script that tell it to follow another object and detect what object shot it.

Hint: GetComponent.

I don't think that's possible.

As far as I know, you can't control the actual particles.

The only way I can think of that being possible is, if you create your own particle system.
