Make Your Dashes & Effects Look Awesome In Just 1 Line!

Render pipeline compatibility

The Built-in Render Pipeline is Unityโ€™s default render pipeline. It is a general-purpose render pipeline that has limited options for customization. The Universal Render Pipeline (URP) is a Scriptable Render Pipeline that is quick and easy to customize, and lets you create optimized graphics across a wide range of platforms. The High Definition Render Pipeline (HDRP) is a Scriptable Render Pipeline that lets you create cutting-edge, high-fidelity graphics on high-end platforms.

Description

Want to make your dashes look cooler, attacks fancier, or projectiles more dynamic? This tool makes it easy and super customisable!


๐Ÿš€ Why Use This Tool?

โœ… Quick Setup: Just 2 simple steps (technically 1), and you're ready to start spawning different types of trails.

โœ… Accurate Gaps: Trail positions are precisely calculated to stay consistent even at inconsistent frame rates.

โœ… Fully Customisable: Control colours, sizes, lifespans, sprites, spawn intervals, easing, and more.


Check out the example scene and documentation (available in English & Traditional Chinese) to get started.


==============================================


๐Ÿ†“ What You Get in both the free and Pro version:

  • ๐ŸŽฏ Easy trail spawning with 1 line of code
  • โš™๏ธ Customise order in layer, gradient colours, size settings, lifespan, gap interval condition
  • ๐ŸŒ€ 4 built-in easing equations (Sine, Exponential, Circle, Elastic) that you can also use in your own project
  • ๐Ÿง  Accurate trail spacing even with inconsistent frame rate
  • ๐Ÿ” Debugging tools that display trail info in the inspector and the hierarchy

๐Ÿ”’ What You Unlock in the Pro version:

  • ๐Ÿ” Profiles: Create profiles and reuse trail settings, saving your time copying and pasting. Switch profiles at runtime, allowing a game object to easily spawn different types of trails.
  • ๐ŸŽจ Override Sprite Colour: Choose to fully override or just tint the sprite.
  • ๐Ÿ–ผ๏ธ Custom Sprites: Use specific trail sprites, cycle or randomise them, not just limited to the sprite of the game object.
  • ๐Ÿ“ˆ Animation Curve: Full control over scale changes beyond easing presets.
  • ๐Ÿค– Auto Start/Stop: Trails can automatically start and stop based on speed, time, or distance, no code is needed. Of course, your can your own auto-start and stop logic in case the built in ones don't fit.
  • ๐Ÿ’ฅ Physics Trails: Enable collisions for interactive trail effects, they are not just visual effects anymore!
  • ๐Ÿ“ฃ Events: Subscribe to profile change, trail start or stop, object init or destroy events, and more.
  • ๐Ÿ”ง Extension Methods: Cleaner and shorter code for spawning and managing trails.

๐Ÿ”ฌ Experimental features in the Pro version:

  • ๐Ÿ’จ Trail Movement: The trail can move to a specific direction or a random direction within a range.

==============================================


This is the Free version which gives you the core features with basic customisations, whereas the Pro version unlocks the full toolkit.

Technical details

  • Allow users to generate a trail on a game object. The user can start and stop the trail in scripts.
  • Allow users to customise the appearance of the trails: order in layer, colour, scale size, lifespan, spawning condition, ease type.
  • Uses object pooling to improve performance and save resources.
  • Automatically destroying pooled trail objects when needed. User can also manually do this in scripts.
  • Calculate the correct position for each trail object before spawning them, making sure the delta time imprecision will not cause any inconsistent gaps in the trail.
