I did exactly the changes @Rick_Davidson made to the flamethrower fx, but mine doesn’t travel with the projectile, it emits on launch and stays put… it works when I drag it around in the prefab scene just it does for Rick, but then not in game…

Try changing the SimulationSpace from World to Local in the particle system’s inspector.

I shot a 3.5 minute video showing the issue and trying the local change suggestion…
Hmmm… this is definitely odd…
So I looked at the Git version of the project, and couldn’t see anything sticking out… then I looked at my own version of the project… The reason that I’d suggested Local space, it would appear is because in my own project I set the sparkles as a child to the flame itself…
I need to polish but I still don’t have this looking like Rick’s with the exact same numbers… any ideas? (video above)
Sorry, Heath, I let this one slip by without a follow up.
I’m still not sure what’s going on, and would like to take a look at your project so I can see it in action.
Could you zip up your project and upload it to https://gdev.tv/projectupload (be sure to remove the Library file to save space) and I’ll have a look at this and try to see why it’s not moving with the flame.
uploaded… sorry the scene is dark, jack up the directional light… I was just going to start polishing with environment and lighting
Combination of factors contributed to this not working…
- The simulation space definitely needed to be local. This makes the particles follow the muzzle
- You had the emission burst set for 1 particle at 5 seconds in… Try setting Time to 0 and a nice high Count.
- To make it really impressive, I also set the Rate Over Time high and increased the radius and radius thickness.
- Move the FX_Flamethrower particle back a bit from the center so it’s a bit behind the main fireball.

awesome… let me dig in and see if I can copy what you did… that fire effect in his hand was just the “weapon” prefab in his hand. I wanted something that told me I did indeed have the fireball equipped. and thanks for looking into that other problem of shooting over water
That’s a GREAT effect! Well done!
