Hi,
i made some missiles that use unity's particle systems for smoke trail. Particle system is in a child object attached to a missile so upon collision it can detach and particles can finish their limetime (otherwise the object holding the particles system and the particles disappear in the instant the missile is destroyed).
Naturally (you probably know by know, i use PlayMaker), i use OnCollision2D and detach children, but it doesn't work properly, the destruction of the killable object happens before the detachment of the child object as i can see in the log (null reference). I also tried listening to missile HP and detach children when it gets under 1 but it also doesn't work (except i don't get the null reference error since the detach state doesn't even happen, so it probably starts in the later update). I also tried getting the distance but that also doesn't work since the missile hits the collider, not the object itself.
Any ideas on how to solve this properly? The reason i'm asking this here (i also posted the question on Hutong Games forum) is to see if i can use some of the possibilities of the killable to this avail?
