Geonodes particle system positioning.

Question

Hey Guys

Can anyone see where I've gone wrong here? I need these sparks to fly off from the emitter like in the 2nd screenshot but they're getting trapped on the surface of the emitter. I tried to figure out a way to just set position of the emitter rather than instance the emitter on the curve but since all the objects are procedural I can't think of another way to get that position. I used a trim curve node as the points reference for the instance on points cause that's what all the other objects use and they're moving and working as supposed to.

Point reference for particle system



Particle system



Emitter after adding instance on points. The trim curve is used for the Points reference of all of the other geo-nodes objects in the system so i figured this would work the same way.



Where the problem arises: the sparks aren't flying away they're trapped on the surface of the emitter sphere.
