Description

Toggle whether the trail inherits the particle color as its starting color.

When enabled, this applies any Trail module color overrides on top of the particle color.

using System.Collections;

[RequireComponent(typeof(ParticleSystem))] public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour { private ParticleSystem ps; public bool inheritParticleColor = true;

void Start() { ps = GetComponent<ParticleSystem>();

var main = ps.main; main.startColor = new ParticleSystem.MinMaxGradient(Color.red, Color.yellow); main.startSize = 0.1f;

var trails = ps.trails; trails.enabled = true;

var psr = GetComponent<ParticleSystemRenderer>(); psr.trailMaterial = new Material(Shader.Find("Sprites/Default")); }

void Update() { var trails = ps.trails; trails.inheritParticleColor = inheritParticleColor; }
