Resolved instantiating a particle system as a child object

So I've got a smoke trail that comes out of the gun when firing it,
I'm executing this code by simply calling the function when I'm shooting.

Code (CSharp):

1.     private void GunGraphics()
2.     {
3.         if (muzzleFlash != null)
4.             Instantiate(muzzleFlash, attackPoint.position, Quaternion.identity);
5.         if (SmokeTrail != null)
6.             Instantiate(SmokeTrail, attackPoint.position, attackPoint.rotation);
7.     }

I'm instantiating the code like this, but the smoke trail is not a child off the attackPoint transform, I've tried to use attackPoint.Setparent and attackPoint.parent.position, though I couldn't figure it out with that.

Any leads in the right direction would be great, thanks in advance.

 

So currently, setting attackPoints parent will do nothing, because you are only using attackPoints position in the Instantiate method. Instead do this -

Code (CSharp):

1. ParticleSystem smoke = Instantiate(SmokeTrail, attackPoint.position, attackPoint.rotation);
2. smoke.transform.parent = attackPoint;

This changes the particle systems instance as child under attackPoint.

 

awesome!!! thanks a lot, after trying a few things I ended up with this, which seems to work.

Code (CSharp):

1. Instantiate(SmokeTrail, attackPoint.position, attackPoint.rotation, transform.parent);
