Attach particle effect to player/actor

I’ve added in a consumable when you eat it, it use a particle effect which you can set in the consumable under “use particle effect”. The effect works fine and starts at player location but does not follow the player. So I went into the effect (any effect really), there’s a option for “follow target”. I checked it, but the effect does not move along with the player as the player moves. Anyone know how to attach the particle effect properly to a player?
