Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world

Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

i create my emitter set rates vel ect fine all dandy so far

i create my geometry that i want to instance an instance it
done it now emmits that geo
good

now if i animate a rotation of thus emitter the instanced geometry goes off in the direction of the inital geo if i rotate this they emitt correctly but as time goes along an the go off they rotate also so they r facing the direction of the intial goe

so my q is how is i set it so that the geo all ways is emitted so that its is pointing in the correct direction

thx
