    Hi,

    I'm using a floating world origin and I need to move particles with the origin. I'm using ParticleSystem.GetParticles and SetParticles to move the normal particles, but some systems use the trails module. Is there a way to get and set positions of trails?

    Thanks.

    Sorry - there isn't. I'm not sure how you would do this for particle trails... :(

    Unfortunate, is there any chance of it coming in a future update?

    We will add it to our road map, but most dev effort goes into the Visual Effect Graph these days. (not sure if that handles floating origins any better)
