Particles are a lot higher than the null object they should be following

[Piipperi98A6]

Hello, I'm having difficulty with particles and null objects. I've been following tutorials on how to make a magic particle trail, it looks pretty easy to do w/o plug-ins, but I'm facing this weird issue where my particles do follow the null object, but the Y value is a lot higher on the particles than it should be... What am I doing wrong?

Your solid is larger than the comp size and without additional code to compensate for that, of course the positions won't align 100%. Since there is usually no point in using larger layers with particle effects, resizing the solid via its layer options would be the simplest way. Otherwise your may need to use fromComp() or manualyl add and subtract the position differences.

Double checked the solid size, and sure enough, it wasn't the proper size for some reason. Thanks!
