particles behind background

Getting Started
1

I have some code in a primarily 2d game for moving a UFO and creating an explosion when the UFO gets hit by a missile:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class UFOmover : MonoBehaviour {
    public GameObject particleExplosion;

    // Use this for initialization
    void Start () {
  
    }
  
    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update () {
        this.transform.Translate (0.01f, 0, 0);
    }


    void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D other)
    {
        Instantiate (particleExplosion, this.transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
        Debug.Log ("trigger triggered");
        Destroy (this.gameObject);


    }

}

However, the problem is the explosion seems to always show up behind the background. Any ideas how to fix this?

I tried changing the Z value of the explosion and putting it on the top layer, but the explosion still seemed to be behind the background.

Okay guys.
Can you both show, a short video, or some screenshots of this problem?

** @boolfone **
I noticed, that you have the word Quaternion, in line 20 of your code**.**
From what I know, Quaternion, is used for 3d.

** @Disc0nnected ** do you have the word Quaternion, in your code too?

PS: Boredmormon and other Unity coder guys, concerning Quaternion
I know that in the Unity manual, it says that Quaternion, is for 3d.
Or is it that Quaternion, can now be used, for 2d now? :slight_smile:
