    Hi.
    Trying to create a 'swirling' or vortex effect with particles and the new Shuriken Particle System. Came across this script in the unify wiki but it only works with the OLD particle emitter

    Thanks! I've resorted to parenting the particleSystem to another gameObject and then creating the spiral motion on that but will try this. I assume this technique though uses the OLD particle emitter? I need to research if Shuriken offers any performance advantages over the old Particle Emitter.
