Particles not working unity 2018.4

[Steveiwonder]

Hey, I’m currently watching Complete C# Unity Developer 3D: Learn to Code Making Games on Udemy and watching “Introducing Particle Effects”.

I can only get particles to actually work in the scene editor OR in game mode when i turn on “Play On Awake”. When calling Play() / Stop() nothing happens. Does anyone else have this issue?

Can we see your code? Did you try adding a print statement to confirm that Play is being called?

[Steveiwonder]

Yeah, the code is 100% being called, i have a print statement their and it’s being written to the console.

Console Output

Prefab/Instance links:

Fields:

ApplyThrust();

I’ve just updated to Unity 2019.3.5f1 (64-bit), still no change.

Here is the actual project: Uploading: Rocket.zip…

Edit: If i have “Play On Awake” checked then they show, but any call to .Stop() does not stop them either, and they are then always on.

Thanks for your help.

I’ve managed to figure out what I was doing wrong. When i dropped the particles on the inspector window, i dragged from the assets prefab. I should have been drag/dropping from the child under Rocket ship.

I hope this helps someone out.

Thanks!

Glad you solved it! Nice project by the way!
