Question by joedartjr · Jan 19, 2014 at 11:39 PM · c#rotationinstantiatequaternionparticle

Particle System Instantiate's With Original Rotation - C#

I created a particle system that emits sparks when a Raycast $$anonymous$$ts a collider. It works, and instantiates properly, except for the rotation of the particle system always keeps its original setting. It always emits the same direction. I have a feeling it has to either do with my Raycast not returning a proper rotation from the $$anonymous$$tInfo (or returning one at all), or from the Quaternion.identity not being what I need to translate the rotation properly. Any help on the issue would be great; I'm not looking for someone to write the code for me, I'm just looking to better understand how to accomplish getting particle system's to instantiate properly. The particle effect is added as $$anonymous$$tPrefab, and I have tried wrapping it in another empty Game Object.

Here's my code so far:

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 
 public class PerformsAttack : MonoBehaviour 
 {
 
     public float range = 100f;
 
     public float cooldown = 0.2f;
     float cooldownRemaining = 0;
 
     public float damage = 25f;
 
     public GameObject $$anonymous$$tPrefab;
 
     // Use t$$anonymous$$s for initialization
     void Start () {
     
     }
     
     // Update is called once per frame
     void Update () 
     {
         cooldownRemaining -= Time.deltaTime;
     if(Input.GetMouseButton(0) && cooldownRemaining <= 0)
         {
             cooldownRemaining = cooldown;
 
             Ray ray = new Ray( Camera.main.transform.position, Camera.main.transform.forward );
             RaycastHit $$anonymous$$tInfo;
 
             if( Physics.Raycast(ray, out $$anonymous$$tInfo, range))
             {
                 Vector3 $$anonymous$$tPoint = $$anonymous$$tInfo.point;
                 GameObject go =  $$anonymous$$tInfo.collider.gameObject;
                 Debug.Log ("Hit Object: " + go.name);
                 Debug.Log ("Hit Point: " + $$anonymous$$tPoint);
 
                 HasHealth h = go.GetComponent<HasHealth>();
 
                 if(h != null)
                 {
                     h.RecieveDamage(damage);
                 }
 
                 if($$anonymous$$tPrefab != null)
                 {
                     Instantiate( $$anonymous$$tPrefab, $$anonymous$$tPoint, Quaternion.identity);
                 }
             }
         }
     }
 }

  Instantiate( $$anonymous$$tPrefab, $$anonymous$$tPoint, Quaternion.identity);

T$$anonymous$$s spawns your particle system with a Quaternion.identity rotation. Try using the rotation you want instead!

Try

 Quaternion.LookRotation(ray.normal)
