Particle System Components not displaying

Hello, i’m new to unity and am having some issues with the following:

I created a Partycle System and then added a Particle Animator but the changes i’m making in that component are not displaying at all in the Particle System. The same happens with the Ellipsoid Particle Emitter component i added to this GameObject. Thanks in advance.

The particle animator component will not work with the Particle system. They are entirely seperate components. If you want to animate the color, then you’ll have to use whatever you can find in the particle system. Or don’t use the particle system and use the particle emitter because it can use a particle animator.

In brief. To my understanding yhe particle system only works by itself, while all the Legacy particle components (animator, emitter, renderer, world collider) only work with each other. Can’t mix them.

Resources on using the Legacy particle components: http://unity3d.com/support/documentation/Components/comp-ParticlesGroup.html

Good Luck.
