particle system not showing?

I’m trying to add a particle system to my Flashcard app.

The system shows in the Scene view, but it doesn’t show when I run the “game” (i.e. press the Play button).

Any ideas what could cause it to show in Scene but not in Game view?

Thanks and have a blessed day.


What’s the position of the camera relative to the particles? I ask because even in 2d I think you can be too close for the cameras near clipping distance and therefore won’t be picked up…

I think… ← total noob still.

Also, check the the direction of the “shape” setting isn’t firing the particles behind the camera…

We had a problem similar to this. It turned out that even though it looked like it was in the right position it actually wasn’t. Try turning off the 2d view & then moving the particles more in line with the camera. Watch the game view while you relocate the particles in the top view.

The transform locations in the screenshot looks like the particles are actually massively out of the camera view port.
