    Code (csharp):
    1.  
    2.         // particleSystem.GetComponent<Renderer>().ParticleRenderer.ParticleRenderMode = ParticleRenderMode.Stretch;
    3.         // GetComponent<Renderer>() unnesessary because you're trying to access the ParticleRenderer component.
    4.         // There is no ParticleRenderer property in Renderer
    5.         // the particleRenderMode property has a lowercase p, like all others in Unity.
    6.         particleSystem.GetComponent<ParticleRenderer>().particleRenderMode = ParticleRenderMode.Stretch;
    7.
