This is just the quickly thought out 14 year old answer but what I would do is create a link point on the dragon and attach a blank scene that extends out past the top of the screen and attach the particle effect(LINEX) to the top of that, stretching it the length of the scene.

You would most likely want to mount the particle effect to the camera, rather than the player. An alternative measure would be to have a scrolling rain texture overlaid over the whole background.

Thanks guy havent done it yet but the scroller idear sounds better tryed the other idear it wont move the character if i attach the particle effect to the character but the particle effect is a better rain effect than a scroller image.Cheers
