Line Attractor does not work with Use Local Space

When I set my emitters that have line attractor modules in them, to “Use Local Space” they stop rotating and instead fly straight in the viewport. Does this mean I cannot use line attractors when I need the particle system to change direction using local space? If this cannot be done then how would I go about creating a spiral effect without attractors?

Hey Hbeilers,

Thank you for submitting this post. I have reproduced this issue and logged a report for it here: Unreal Engine Issues and Bug Tracker (UE-42392)

You can track the report’s status as the issue is reviewed by our development staff. Please be aware that this issue may not be prioritized or fixed soon.

As a workaround I would suggest looking into vector fields but keep in mind those are for GPU particles.

Cheers,

I just bumped into this, and it’s very annoying.
