Hi,

So I’m having an issue where the particle system that I have attached to my Projectile Actor is moving at a faster rate than my projectile. I set everything to local space in the emitter settings but I’m not sure what else to change. The emitter itself is moving relative to itself as well.

does the particle move on its own? usually for projectile, the particle dont move.  
it just locked to the actor so when actor move, it move along.

Yeah it’s moving. It’s from a pack and I’m not super familiar with Niagara systems other than the basics so I’m not sure what I’d be looking for to have it remain stationary
