[SOLVED]Particle help

Sorry if this is in the wrong section.

Anyways,

So I just completed the Roll-A-Ball tut.
Now I'm trying to add particle effects on the pickups.

The problem is.. I cant get anything to work. I've tried looking this up but I can't find anything that works?..

Heres my code which is suppose to activate it every time the player collides, however this isn't giving me any results..

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3.  
4. public class ParticleEmitter : MonoBehaviour
5. {
6.     public ParticleSystem exp;
7.  
8.     void OnTriggerEnter (Collider col)
9.     {
10.         if (col.gameObject.CompareTag ("Player"))
11.         {
12.             Debug.Log (" I should be emitting paritcles");
13.             Explode ();
14.         }
15.     }
16.  
17.     void Explode()
18.     {
19.         exp = GetComponent<ParticleSystem> ();
20.         exp.Play ();
21.  
22.     }
23. }
24.  

Warning:

I have a particle system on ever pickup. I tried making it so it spawns the particle effect on that pick up with instantiate, however that wouldn't work either.
I even tried making the particles massive just in case it was too small. And yes, I've hit "Apply" every time I put something on one of the pickups. The pickups are all under 1 prefab, just as in the tut.

Can someone please help me? This is very frustrating, I feel like it's a lot easier than what I'm making it out to be

 

Is there a ParticleSystem on the same GameObject as ParticleEmitter?

Here's a basic instantiate script that works:

Code (csharp):

1. public GameObject _particlePrefab;
2.  
3. void OnTriggerEnter(Collider collider)
4. {
5.     if (collider.tag != "Player") return;
6.        
7.     Instantiate(_particlePrefab, transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
8. }

 

Hmm still not working.. It's spawning them, but the particles aren't appearing?..
Here's the updated code that is attached to the pickups:

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3.  
4. public class Particles : MonoBehaviour
5. {
6.     public GameObject deathParticles;
7.  
8.     void OnTriggerEnter(Collider col)
9.     {
10.         if (col.tag != "Player")
11.             {
12.                 return;
13.             }
14.  
15.         Instantiate (deathParticles, transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
16.     }
17.  
18.  
19.  
20.  
21.  
22. }
23.  

See attachments below for a picture of unity..

 

Do you have Play On Awake ticked in the ParticleSystem?

 

I'm 99% sure I don't. (At work right now).

Is it suppose to be ticked for cases like this?

 

That worked!
