How do I attach a particle effect to a puppet or play the particle effect at the position where the puppet is?

GraeChan

When the puppet is destroyed they are to leave a particle effect at their position. What would be the best method of doing this? The particle effect does not attach to objects like other gadgets do so is there a way to get the particle effect to attach to the puppet or do I need to work out the coordinates of the puppet?

    I'd say just have an emitter emit the partical effect upon death and have it set to emit wherever you want it to come from. I have a working sorta prototype to this as I have one of my characters pound the ground and dust emits upon impact seemingly from ground where the character hits.

    Could you have an object follow the puppet very closely to emit the particle effect?

    So, for example put a tag on the puppet and call it 'alive',
    have an object follow very closely set to invisible and with collision off,
    on the same object have a trigger zone set to look for the 'alive' tag,
    hook the trigger zone to a 'NOT' gate, and the 'NOT' gate to the emitter.

    When the puppet dies the trigger zone will NOT detect the 'alive' tag and so through the NOT gate send a signal to the emitter to fire of the particle effect.

    umm, I hope that makes sense?

    '@CloaknDaggerson thanks, you sent me along the right track. Just attached an emitter on to the puppet then attached the particle effect to that. Used a switch to control the particle effect. Cheers.
