Hello
I've made a sort of a comet with trapcode's particular and added a light as its path. Everything is working fine except that the 'head' of the particle effect is not moving with the path, it stays still.
Don't know how to explain it so I made a short illustration.


That's how it's supposed to move around the sphere (in 3D space):

And that's how mine looks like at the moment:

The red upper part of the particle is the head, the yellowish part represents the tail.
Any idea how to solve this?

Upgrade to Particular v2 and use its path alignment options.
