Hello, I have a prefab name "Spore" in the attached image. It is made up of a bunch of particles. Changing the scale of the parent object seems to have no effect on the particles. Can someone help me find a way to scale this object down and up?

Hey Spazi, thanks for the fast response. I'm a little lost with that document. Is this setting only available by setting it via code? I'm not sure where it would be found in the editor.

Sorry sorry..I just saw it. It is currently set to local.

You'll want Hierarchy if you want parent scale to affect it

#

Local and Shape are useful for different kind of independent scaling
