UI and particles

Unity Engine
1

Hello unity experts.

I’m trying to put particles between 2 UI elements.
And as for now i can put particles behind UI or before ui but not between.
Structure should look like :
Canvas
Button 1
Particle
Button 2

So Particles should be on top of Button 1 but behind Button 2. Any suggestions how to achieve it?
I found this thread but it’s not clear and not very useful:
https://answers.unity.com/questions/1152887/how-to-place-a-particle-between-2-ui-objects.html?_ga=2.171166368.1883020453.1585260470-516387896.1582926210

Step by step guidance would be very helpful.

Solution. Not perfect but workable.
-Camera1
-Canvas1 (Order in layer = 0, Render mode = Screen Space-Camera, Render Camera = —Camera1)
–Image1
–Particles
–Canvas2 - (Override Sorting, order in layer = 2)
—Image2

Can’t consider it as a ‘perfect’. believe Unity team should do it without any ‘tricks’

Hi there,

I created the Canvas Particle System, an asset that can create UI particles fully compatible with Unity’s UI Render Pipeline.

Within this asset you can:

  • Use sibling index to control particles z position
  • Add particles in front, behind, or between any UI element
  • Emit particles from: point, directional, line, rect, and circular or using any recttransform in the scene
  • Works on all canvas types:
  • Works on all platforms: mobile, desktop, or console
  • Control all emitter attributes programmatically
  • Animate any emitter or particle attributes
  • Add multi-texture particles
  • Particles with animates sprites
  • Emit particles from images
  • Use UI masks
  • Emit from local or world spaces
  • Render Shuriken particle on UI
  • And more
