but then why are some particle bits

[cold lark]

I'm a bit lost on what's a particle and what's a "bit" at a given moment

If you can show a video of doing what I suggest that could help a lot

[lethal knot]

particle bit

is like one little part

of particle

and i associate just particle with particle as an object

have this btw

[cold lark]

Paused Play mode, Scene and Game windows side by side, selecting the problematic particle and focusing on the Particle System itself

[lethal knot]

look

i cant select it it doesnt exist

[cold lark]

You need to select it from the Hierarchy or from Scene window

[lethal knot]

oh there

i did that

[cold lark]

If you can't see particles at all in Scene view, I'd select the Particle System from the hierarchy and double click it (or hit F when mouse-overing the Scene window) to focus Scene view to them

[lethal knot]

already

i told u

and the problem is

theyre in the RIGHT place

like the object that spawns the particle

particle gameobject

but the things it spawns arent in place

some atleast

some even spawn ABOVE

where theyre supposed to spawn

[cold lark]

Trying to focus on the particles after selecting them from the Hierarchy would be important at this point
They should not be invisible in the Scene view if you do that

This may give you a clue about where it's being instantiated
And very likely indicate that whatever code is instantiating it is doing so in the wrong position

[lethal knot]

oh i see

and yes

look

red thing is the place where they SHOULD spawn

[cold lark]

Do they?

[lethal knot]

or where they should start

well look at the circled particle

it spawnd WAY above

where it should have

and in the video

some spawn way under

i dont know why

and when i double click particles

in the hierarchy

they take me exatly to the particle spot marked with red gizmo

its very confusing sorry

[cold lark]

Specifically the particles that appear in the wrong place?
My hypothesis is that the origin of the Particle System should be appearing in the wrong place at that moment

Indicating that your code is instantiating them in the wrong position

[lethal knot]

i dont know why

Instantiate(dirtParticle1, particleSpot.position, Quaternion.identity);

particleSpot.position

and particle spot is the red thing

i mean

they get the y axis wrong

only

they should spawn anywhere in x i guess

idk its a very simple code

to spawn smth in one place

and when i click the particles and click replay they do it normally

wait a sec

if it helps i can record

what i mean

[cold lark]

It might

It would also help to type complete sentences

[lethal knot]

oh

sorry about that too

or actually nvm it doesnt let you replay the particle when play mode is on

I checked my code and it seems to work with the falling projectiles you see in the video

[cold lark]

Also note that to see the origin of objects like the Particle System accurately, this button must be in "pivot" mode

[lethal knot]

i used the same exact method with the particles except that they do not spawn in random x axis

[lethal knot]

i do have it already

[cold lark]

Good
A "Particle System" is the component together with the Transform that determines its position, the PS has individual "particles"

The Particle System's "Shape" module determines where the particles appear around the PS transform origin

[lethal knot]

yes

and the shape does it right

in scene viewer

but it starts messing the y axis of where the particles spawn when the boss spawns them

[cold lark]

If Shape is not placing them in some weird spot, the particle systems are most likely being instantiated in the wrong place
I would triple check (and Debug.Log) that particleSpot.position really is what you think it is

[lethal knot]

i tried to

even re adjusted the particle position

object

but to no avail, maybe there is another way to spawn a particle on a specific place using a script?

i used a system i usually always use

[cold lark]

I recommend not to try to fix a malfunctioning simple system with a different more complex system

[lethal knot]

youre right

this is the first time this system failed me, and this game spawns a LOT of things in many different places, though i rarely did it with particles

[cold lark]

According to my experience, the Shape, the PS origin at runtime instantiation should be wrong
They can't both be right
Unless there's a separate yet undisclosed system participating in their positioning

[lethal knot]

I guess that is why i suspect its the particles fault, not the code

[lethal knot]

Ill check about the seperate system

i dont think the particleposition is attached to anything

i tried with the shape

but everything seems alright look

they all spawn in the same y axis

when it comes to origin i guess i dont know what specifically to check with it, script that spawns it works fine, object it should be spawned at is also not changing its location and it leads me to it in the hierarchy when i look for the particle systen origin

[lethal knot]

the script in the first video spawns 3-4 of these particle systems

[cold lark]

I'm not spotting an issue, but then again you haven't shown me the things I wanted to see

[lethal knot]

i apologize again

what should i record

[cold lark]

Which are

1. The origin of a particle system of a particle that has spawned in the wrong place at runtime
2. the Debug.Logged position of the PS during instantiation

[lethal knot]

i told you 1. leads me to the particlePosition or whatever the red gizmo marked gameobject is called

ill record it

thank you for your time by the way

i usually checked

and every time i search for where the particle is spawned it gives me red things position, which is correct

[summer condor]

Can you show the shape module expanded and also the renderer module?
