2d Bullet hit particle

I am new to programming and I am trying to make my tiny bullet hit particle system show when my cloned bullets collide with anything

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4.  
5. public class bullet : MonoBehaviour
6. {
7.     //particle prefab
8.     public GameObject impact;
9.  
10.     public float speed = 20f;
11.     public int damage = 20;
12.     public Rigidbody2D rb;
13.  
14.     // Start is called before the first frame update
15.     void Start()
16.     {
17.         rb.velocity = transform.up * speed;
18.     }
19.  
20.     private void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D hitInfo)
21.     {
22.         enemyDamage enemy = hitInfo.GetComponent<enemyDamage>();
23.  
24.         //trying to clone the effect for each bullet
25.         impact = Instantiate(impact, transform.position, Quaternion.identity) as GameObject;
26.         if (enemy != null)
27.         {
28.             enemy.takeDamage(damage);
29.         }
30.         Destroy(gameObject);
31.         Destroy(impact, .75f);
32.     }
33.  
34.     // Update is called once per frame
35.     void Update()
36.     {
37.        
38.     }
39. }

 

Fixed this by instantiating my particle effect in a new method

Code (CSharp):

1. void impactPlay()
2.     {
3.         impact = Instantiate(impact, bulletEnd.transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
4.         impact.GetComponent<ParticleSystem>().Play();
5.         Destroy(impact, .8f);
6.     }

 

You don't need to do that, just check "Play on Awake" and set "Stop Action" to destroy in the particle system's settings
