possible types of particle positions

Enumerator
FREE	Living particles are attached to the world and are unaffected by emitter repositioning.
RELATIVE	Living particles are attached to the world but will follow the emitter repositioning. Use case: Attach an emitter to an sprite, and you want that the emitter follows the sprite.
GROUPED	Living particles are attached to the emitter and are translated along with it.
