How to instantiate gameobject at the point of collision

Scripting
1

Hi guys, I am trying to instantiate impact effect at the collision pointof particle effect. Example; I fire a particle effect and when it collides with anything, particle effect gets destroyed and impact effects gets instantiated at
the point of collision. This the script i wrote but it isn’t working. Can you help me ?

public void OnParticleCollision(GameObject other)
{

Instantiate(impactPrefab, other.transform.position, other.transform.rotation);
Destroy(gameObject);
}

What doesn’t work in this code?

Use code tags next time Using code tags properly
Docs if needed:
Unity - Scripting API: MonoBehaviour.OnParticleCollision(GameObject)

This is not what i asked for. These documents are not helpful.

what you need to do is get the colliding objects position before you instantiate.

public Vector3 SpawnHere;

public void OnParticleCollision(GameObject other)
{
SpawnHere = new Vector3 (GameObject.transform.position)
Instantiate(impactPrefab, SpawnHere, other.transform.rotation);
Destroy(gameObject);
}

i didnt test that code so you might have to do it like this:

public void OnColliderEnter(Collider other)
{
SpawnHere = new Vector3(Collider.transform.position)
Instantiate(impactPrefab, SpawnHere, other.transform.rotation);
Destroy(gameObject);
}

ive never used particle collisions so… lol
