2D game, particles are not in the background

salimmatta · Nov 2016

Hello,

iv create particles for my 2D flat game and set them to mobile particle vertex lit blend. For some reasons, the particles are in the front, which means they are overlapping my player (very annoying)

any idea how to set them fixed in the background?

Thank you!

I still don't think this is very straight forward for people but the easiest way is to use a Screen Space Canvas and then sort the particles using the sorting layers. People have implemented particles to render correctly in Overlay Canvas's but it seems overkill unless there is a problem you're solving by using an Overlay Canvas.

Some bits here: https://forum.unity3d.com/threads/particles-within-the-new-gui.265215/

If you get stuck, let me know.
