I’ve been banging my head against the wall with this one for a long time. I have tried so many things but have gotten nowhere. Notably, using the “Initial Mesh Orientation” Particle Spawn module did not function at all as expected. My goal is to get the mesh to spawn with the ships rotation and position and then do it’s own thing, unaffected by the movement of the ship.
Keep this unchecked: Emitter properties → Local space
Particles can spawn from the current spaceship transform. If the spaceship moves, the particle is completly independent from the transfrom of the spaceship. Is that what you want?
You can do this by adding an “Initial Mesh Orientation” module to the “Particle Spawn”, then link the “Orientation Vector” value to the System Axis you need the mesh to face, “SystemXAxis” corresponds to the forward vector of the system.
