Question by mediamavrick · Mar 06, 2014 at 08:25 AM · particlesystemparticle

Particles only fly in the left direction issue

For some reason The particles in my scene fly downwards towards the left. I need them to fly in every direction upon impact of the object. I have not applied it to an object yet though because I am trying to get this particle direction bug fixed first. Have any of you ever had an issue like this before and if so, how did you fix it? Any help would be much appreciated.

I have gravity on because I need them to fall downwards but for some reason they fall to the left. I need them to fall downwards

They move to the left and down because you have specified them to do it. In the top settings you have applied Gravity to them through the Gravity Multipliier which means they will have a down acceleration. In velocity over lifetime you have set a constant velocity to x which means they will go to the left.

I am not sure exactly how you want the system to behave but if you want them to fly in every direction as you say then remove the constant x velocity, set the gravity multiplier to 0 and change the Shape to Sphere.

@GameVortex I thought that might be the problem, but it turns out that its not. I have it set to 0 and its still flying left. I set the shape to sphere as well and the same thing happens. Any other suggestions because this thing is starting to get on my nerves

@GameVortex and I need gravity to be applied. The problem occurs when I set the gravity to a positive number. When I set it to a negative number they fly to the right.

If by setting the gravity multiplier to negative the particles goes to the right ins$$anonymous$$d, it would mean that your gravity is set to to negative on the x axis. What is your gravity vector? Edit - ProjectSettings - Physics.

Also, what results do you get by creating a new Particle System with default values. Setting its shape to sphere and setting the gravity multiplier to 1, and not changing anything else?

Thank you, The problem was that the gravity in my physics settings were set wrong on my x axis. Much apreciated.
