Niagara particles not centred

Hi everyone,

Sorry if I have made a huge error here, but particles are not my speciality.

I have made a Niagara particle emitter, and use a mesh emitter to create a single sphere (burst of spawn count 1)

I then made a system from this emitter as normal. All settings were left the same.
However, when I go into a blueprint with a Niagara ParticleComponent, the particle does not appear centred on the origin of the particle component.

The sphere is the particle and the origin is in the middle of the red wireframe collision component.

How would I centre the particles on the particle system component?

If the sphere pivot is at its base then you need to adjust the local offset z parameter.

As go the amount you need to eyeball it.

Thanks - this is the solution, although if you have made the mesh yourself (or can use blender or something) it might be work re-positioning the object to have the centre you desire (such as the centre) - this was the way I did it.
