Particles Inherit Motion

[soupman99]

I have an object that is emitting particles that is animated. When the object moves, the particles inherit the animation and move along with the object. I want them to just follow the path they would if the object were still. What do I change to get this effect?

normally they would not inherit the motion of the emittor unless the particle object was also parented to the same animated object.. so check that it isn't

my particle object isn't parented...but my emitter is parented to an object that's moving. I set the inherit factor to zero but the particles are still emitted in relation to the movement of the emitter when I just need them to move straight down.

Hmm.. I just tried creating a directional emittor that was shooting particles downwards, parented it to a ball that is animated going sideways and as I expected this resulted in a diagonal line of particles.. the older ones being further down and near where the ball first started to move
