How to access ParticleRenderMode of particle system?

[hellcaller]

trying somth like particleSystem.GetComponent<Renderer>().ParticleRenderer.ParticleRenderMode = ParticleRenderMode.Stretch;
But it doesn’t work, am i reading the docs in a wrong way?

[ThermalFusion]

        // particleSystem.GetComponent<Renderer>().ParticleRenderer.ParticleRenderMode = ParticleRenderMode.Stretch;
        // GetComponent<Renderer>() unnesessary because you're trying to access the ParticleRenderer component.
        // There is no ParticleRenderer property in Renderer
        // the particleRenderMode property has a lowercase p, like all others in Unity.
        particleSystem.GetComponent<ParticleRenderer>().particleRenderMode = ParticleRenderMode.Stretch;

        // GetComponent<Renderer>() unnesessary because you're trying to access the ParticleRenderer component.
        // There is no ParticleRenderer property in Renderer
        // the particleRenderMode property has a lowercase p, like all others in Unity.
        particleSystem.GetComponent<ParticleRenderer>().particleRenderMode = ParticleRenderMode.Stretch;

        particleSystem.GetComponent<ParticleRenderer>().particleRenderMode = ParticleRenderMode.Stretch;

Unfortunately it says:

MissingComponentException: There is no ‘ParticleRenderer’ attached to the “Particle System” game object, but a script is trying to access it.
You probably need to add a ParticleRenderer to the game object “Particle System”. Or your script needs to check if the component is attached before using it.

Well, do you have a ParticleRenderer there?

sure thing! mbe they’ve changed API in 5.4?

Ok got it :

particleSystem.GetComponent<ParticleSystemRenderer>().renderMode=ParticleSystemRenderMode.Stretch;

ParticleRenderer is the legacy particle system

yeah got it, but when u’re googling unity particle system components 90% of info refers to legecy system
