i have made a script for a bullet, and when it hits a bird, it instantiates a feather particle system, except the particle system’s position is miles away and i don’t know why. here’s the script: `using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class Bullet : MonoBehaviour
{
public float expireRate;
private float currentTimer;
public GameObject otherPlayer;

public float movSpeed;
public float damageRate;

public GameObject feathers;
//public Renderer rend;
//public Collider coll;

// Start is called before the first frame update
void Start()
{
    
}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
    this.transform.Translate(Vector3.left * Time.deltaTime * movSpeed);
    currentTimer += 1 * Time.deltaTime;

    if (currentTimer > expireRate)
        Destroy(this.gameObject);

}

void OnCollisionEnter(Collision col)
{
    if (col.gameObject.tag == "Bird")
    {
        //otherPlayer = col.gameObject;
        
        Debug.Log("killed-bird");
        //Destroy(col.gameObject);
        //Destroy(gameObject);
        col.gameObject.GetComponent<Renderer>().enabled = false;
        //rend.enabled = false;
        //coll.enabled = false;
        Instantiate(feathers, col.transform);
        
    }
    Destroy(this.gameObject);

}

}
`
is there anyway to actually get it to instantiate at the right position?
Thanks

If you read the documentation here you will see that the Object.Instantiate method has a few overloads. You are setting its parent, not its position.

You need to pass a vector and rotation to set its position.

Here is my solution, i just wrote you a script you need to attach it to your bird, and tag your bullets with the tag “Bullet”. Please take a look try it and if you have any problem with setting it up just let me know.

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class BirdHit : MonoBehaviour
{
    [Header("Bird Settings:")]
    public GameObject featherParticle; // Put your particle prefab here.
    public AudioClip birdDieSFX; // You could put some sound FX to be played when your bird die.

    private bool isHit; // Bool that will control your paticle destruction.

    private void OnCollisionEnter(Collision collision)
    {
        if(collision.gameObject.CompareTag("Bullet"))
        {
            Instantiate(featherParticle, transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
            AudioSource.PlayClipAtPoint(birdDieSFX, transform.position);
            Destroy(gameObject);

            isHit = true;

            Debug.Log("You hit the bird!");

            // This will destroy the particle clone in hierarchy.
            if(isHit)
            {
                Destroy(featherParticle, 1.0f);
            }
        }
    }
}

Hope this will help you out @efobrog!
