Question

Hello! I am working on a 3D game with a slide functionality. I added a GPUparticles3D node that’s attached to the camera so that the particles trail behind the player when they slide. However, the particles do not rotate properly and only fly in one direction. Is it possible to change the direction of the particles with the rotation of the camera?

Try enabling local_coords in “Drawing” section of node’s properties.
