Orientation of particle system

Unity Engine
1

This is probably a dumb one: I have a particle emitting hemisphere (shuriken, not legacy) as the child of an object. How can I change the orientation of the emitter without changing the orientation of the parent object? I realize I could un-parent and write a follow script, but I’d rather not have to structure it that way.

Thanks for any help.

Children don’t change the orientation of their parents; it’s the other way around. What you’re asking is already the way it works - just rotate your emitter (child object).

That’s what I’m saying – I can’t find any way to select the emitter only to rotate/translate.
