setDepth() to particles emitter

Phaser 3
1

I would like to set the depth of a particle emitter. I’ve tried:

        this.thrust = this.add.particles("jets").createEmitter({
                      x: 100,
                      y: 350,
                      angle: { min: 160, max: 200 },
                      scale: { start: 0.2, end: 0 },
                      blendMode: "ADD",
                      lifespan: 600,
                      on: false
                    }).setDepth(2)

and

    this.thrust = this.add.particles("jets").createEmitter({
                      x: 100,
                      y: 350,
                      angle: { min: 160, max: 200 },
                      scale: { start: 0.2, end: 0 },
                      blendMode: "ADD",
                      lifespan: 600,
                      on: false
                    })
    this.thrust.setDepth(2)

but I get the error TypeError: this.add.particles(...).createEmitter(...).setDepth is not a function.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

The depth needs to be set on the particles, not the emitter.

If you mean depth vs. other game objects, it needs to be done on the manager:

this.add.particles('jets')
  .setDepth(2)
  .createEmitter(…)
