Hello, im new to unity and im making a 2.5d game. What I want to do is emitt a smoke particle effect when a bullet touches an enemy. Sadly Particle effect doesn’t emitt, I dont know what I have done wrong. I hope you understand what I said. Thank you for helping me.

var smokeFX : ParticleEmitter;
var damage : int = 1;

function OnTriggerEnter (Bullet : Collider) 
{
    if (particleEmitter) {
        particleEmitter.emit = true;
        yield WaitForSeconds(0.5);
        particleEmitter.emit = false;
    }       

     if(Bullet.gameObject.tag=="Enemy1"){
        Bullet.gameObject.GetComponent(EnemyBehaviour).TakeDamage(damage);
    }
}

Hmm, not really sure what your code is supposed to be doing, but I think what I would do is Instantiate the particle emitter upon something penetrating the Collider.

As in:

//The particle Emitter prefab to instantiate
var myParticleEmitr : GameObject;

function OnTriggerEnter (Bullet : Collider) {

	if(Bullet.gameObject.tag=="Enemy1"){
		var newParticles : GameObject; 
		newParticles = Instantiate(myParticleEmitr, transform.position, transform.rotation);
	}
}

(Sorry, if this isn’t what you were after…)

Thanks, you helped me a lot! It worked! I only had to change the GameObject to ParticleEmitter in your script and it worked perfectly!
