Questions & Answers
(Verbal answers are recorded in the video)
Q: Would it be possible to code the particles to move around the default avatar body shape? I’d like to make a magic amulet on my neck/chest where if my body uses a dance or rides a horse, the world particle setting leaves a magic trail around my body, tailing behind me, instead of through me.
A: You can attach a particle system to a bone and it would do just that! However, the particles will pass through your avatar’s body. There is not collision detection for particles. They will pass through avatars and any mesh
