Need help with a bit of code :\

Hey everyone, i've been learning coding in unity lately and i'm stuck on a bit of code, i've tried everything to get it working and i just can't understand why it's not working. I am trying to make it so that when i hit an object with a rigidbody, it will emit a particle on the object when you hit it.

I've run a debug and it says it's working, but my "spark" particle isn't showing up in the game. Can anyone tell me what i've done wrong?

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. var hitParticle : ParticleEmitter;
3.  
4.        if(hit.rigidbody)
5.         {
6.             if( hitParticle )
7.             {  
8.             Debug.Log("particles is set");     
9.                 hitParticle.transform.position = hit.point;
10.                 hitParticle.transform.localRotation = Quaternion.FromToRotation(Vector3.forward, hit.normal);
11.                 hitParticle.Emit();
12.            
13.                 hit.rigidbody.AddForceAtPosition(directionRay * force, hit.point);
14.                 hit.collider.SendMessageUpwards("ApplyDamage", damage, SendMessageOptions.DontRequireReceiver);
15.             }
16.            
17.         else{
18.                 Debug.Log("particles not set");
19.             }          
20.         }

 

is this just a snippet of code? is it inside an OnCollisionEnter or anything?

 

just a wild guess, but any chance that you might be sending the particle in the wrong direction? so that it ends up going inside the object that you hit?
