Unusal Particle effect in the ground

[Castle of Auuggghhh]

When I try to spawn Aces High (Red) it only appears in the ground even after I bind it to a cosmetic, moving the time slider it only does its effect in the ground http://puu.sh/eZE8p.jpg
How can I fix this?

You probably used a child particle system. See if there isn't one with a shorter version of this one's name in the same PCF file, that would be the parent partice system, and the one you need to use.

Ahh I see, why is there a child and parent particle system in the PCF?

Each child may use different particle settings or have a different particle, then the children are blended into the parent to create the full particle effect.

think of it like compositing elements of a shot in a movie. various elements layered on top of one another to create a complete image. each particle by itself it limited in what it can do. how many textures can be used to make the particle, how many colors can be used. etc. but combining different particles together increases your options.
