TSB's Particle Trail on a Ball in Gamesalad....help

sdsmith64

ok ....so I did Tshirtbooths tutorial on particle trail : http://gshelper.com/?p=284
....I'm using a blue ball for the player and a yellow ball for the particle trail (so when the player moves the blue ball it will have a yellow trail, like in the video) BUT the yellow ball is over-top of the blue ball....how do I get the yellow particle ball behind the blue ball?

unfortunately you cant control layers for the particle. but if you add a offset in the particle emitter x and y youll might be able to push it back enough so its not ontop of the other one

wow ...thats too bad. the blue ball has graphics that can't be covered. is the control of layers (for particles) on the road map?

To be honest not to sure. But another work around is to constrain another actor to your ball, have it behind the ball, and have the particles out of that 2nd actor . That way they will be behind like you need
