So my bullet prefab shows trail when dragged into the scene But not when I play it

Question

So when in scene mode the bullet prefab shows the trails but when I hit the play button it doesn't show any trails whatsoever. I am trying to make a top down shooter with unity. I am new to this, please help much appreciated.

While playing it doesn't show the trail

When in scene mode it shows

Trail renderer settings

Answer 1

You can set the order of the trail renderer in Trail Renderer > Additional Settings > Order in Layer .

For an older version of Unity layer ordering variables are not exposed in the inspector. You can write a custom script that sets the sorting layer / order.

public class RendererSortingLayer : MonoBehaviour
{
    public string sortingLayerName;
    public int sortingOrder;

    void Awake()
    {
        Renderer renderer = this.GetComponent<Renderer>();
        renderer.sortingLayerName = sortingLayerName;
        renderer.sortingOrder = sortingOrder;
    }
}
