Hey people,

I want to make a cutscene and created for that a particle system. So now I want to add this to the timeline, but I can't see the particles, nothing happend.

What does I need to do, to see my particles?

Thanks for the help.

Hi.
Can you give more details.
It's hard to say what the issue is

Hey thanks for the replay, so...

I created a timeline and made a particel system, I did some keyframes on my camera, that was fine everything works, than I add a Track a "activation Track" and couple that with the particel system, but on the screen I can't see nothing. Ingame the effect works, but in the timeline it doesn't.

Hi.
I have not used the timeline yet, but from what I understand is that you active the game object with the particle system.
Is the particle system set to 'Play on awake'

Hey.
Yes, the effect is on "Play on Awake". I have also linked the effect to an empty game object, but unfortunately nothing happens. Here in the video you can see that the effect in the "Scene View" is working, but as soon as the timeline has been played, it is no longer the case.

I don't know what the problem is, it's probably something very simple, I think...

Hi.
In edit mode (game not playing) if you play the timeline it will not trigger the particle as far as i know.
As with animator it won't either.

if you play the game is it still not working?
