So I am trying to make a kind of laserbeam between the turret and a target. Im using the trigger component one the particle system: [8750694--1185642--upload_2023-1-23_15-45-30.png] So the particles get destroyed when entering the target. this works and is all good when i dont have prewarm selec…

Pro-tip: if you want to get my attention, add the “particles” tag to your particle system posts. I’ve added it to this one for you. This may be a bug. I’m checking the code and it seems like it should work. The last bug we fixed in this area was in 2021.2, so if you are on an older version than tha…

No, not in code. Gotta add that trigger in the inspector. so it’s in the prefab before you instantiate it.

sry if im not understanding correctly… [8756422--1186675--upload_2023-1-25_18-8-43.png] add it here? [8756422--1186678--upload_2023-1-25_18-10-9.png] then i cant drag and drop into the field and i need to add the trigger colliders at runtime

if im still not understanding… would you be so kind as to make a quick unity project and test it out for yourself and show me with a screenshot or 2 how its done

if the trigger colliders are created at runtime, then indeed you can’t add them in this way - sorry i didn’t realise that. in that case, i think you need to do something like: in the prefab, uncheck “Play on Awake” in the main particle system settings in your Awake function, do as you are doing n…

Hmm that’s annoying. That does seem like a bug (you’re welcome to report it and i’ll debug it) One last idea i have… on top of my previous suggestion: turn off prewarm in your Awake, do your own “prewarm” by calling ParticleSystem.Simulate, followed by the ParticleSystem.Play you already have Th…
