How do I…
How can i create a streak / trail for a projectile?
What is the expected result
The projectiles fired by the player should create a streak / trail (of smoke maybe) like shown below (from Gungeon)
Go to your scene, open your list of objects, click the plus to insert a new object, choose the option"from asset store", and type in the search box “basic flame”. Also “basic sparks” is a good one as well.

The way i like to do it is with a particle emitter.
Make a particle emitter that you like, then, when you create the “bullet” object, you also create the particle emitter,
You can do something like…
Action
- Create Bullet
- Create Emitter
- Link two object together “Bullet” and “Emitter”
then make a seperate event with only the action and no condition
Action
- Take linked objects into account “Bullet” and “Emitter”
- Change position of “Emitter” to “Bullet.CenterX()” and “Bullet.CenterY()”
This is usually how i make my trails
