hi

a simple question though answer might be difficult.. ;)

i was able to do aiming to right direction of particle moving by putting “Veloctiy “ in “Aim Direction” but at the same time what if i also wanted to spin the instance objects (eg. arrows)

thanks

have a bunch of arrows(instance objects) animate the rotation maually with a bit time variation,loop the animation in graph editor and thats it,the quickest and the easiest approach of doing it.i hope it shud slove your problem.

Cheers,
Karan.
