Ok, found what the problem was.....

b4 was
1) move parent
2) look at child cords and spawn the particle
3) particle not where its supposed to be :(

now working
1) move parent
2) detach child
3) spawn particle
4) reattach child
5) particle where it needs to be :)

for some reason blitz isn't updateing cordinates for entitys that have parents that have moved......workaround was to temporaley remove the entity from the parent..... then put it back when you get done getting the info you need from it.
