How possible to orient Particles along travel direction? (rotation did not work) - Alexx31 - 08-10-2020

Hello,
I have a scene, where randomly rotated particles should spawn new particles.
But those spawned particles need to be aligned to the travel direction.
I tried 2 different approaches but did not succeed.

I used Pyramids to see the direction clearly and they were randomly rotated.

How can I achieve this?

Thanks

I'm not really sure I understand the problem. Could it be that you're setting their rotation before assigning their velocity?

That could be the problem.
I was assuming, that they inherited the velocity from the parent particles and so they "know" right in the beginning the direction.

But of course the "find target" comes here only after the rotation...
I will have to make a slim test scene to check it out.
Thx
