SDK VFX emitter moving with simObj

[hyang]

Hi, my appreciation for any one who reads this:
The VFX emitter I attached to a simObj and placed in scenery is good as long as the simObj is static.
When the simObj is moving by world script program, the emitter does not move.
How to make an attached VFX emitter move together with the simObj it attaches to?
I need this to work badly. Thanks for any help.

This attaches smoke to an engine exhaust. You may be able to use it to discover why your effect isn't working. Also; the SDK is very helpful if you start with the section 'Effects File Format' and ignore everything above it.
