Missile Smoke Trail

I'm trying to make a missile that uses a particle smoke trail.

So far, the game creates the missile sprite and pins a smoke trail to it, but when the missile is deleted, the particle stays where it is.

How do I delete the particle object?

Or is there a way I can group several objects into one object, so I spawn and destroy them all at once?

Add an instance variable to your particle object. When the particle is created, save the missile's UID in that variable. Then, when you destroy the missile, destroy the particle with the corresponding UID saved in it's variable.

Quick .capx:

ParticleParent.capx (r98)

Thanks!

Is there a way I can delete the particle object without causing all of the particles onscreen to disappear immediately?

Did you check out the example .capx in my previous post?

I think I worded that wrong. :P

I meant, is there a way I can delete the particle object without the smoke trail disappearing immediately?

Oh, haha, sorry I misunderstood. I see what you mean now, you could for example use the fade behaviour, like so:

ParticleParentFade.capx (r98)

Nimtrix, thanks a lot)

Would not it be easier if you simply use container? So when you delete the missile, the smoke trail would be deleted too
