Thank you so much !!

[@irfanifio]

oh dude, we need more of this stuff, You got anew sub here hahaha. Can you do a sword trail tuto, most tuto are too long and boring

[@BreezeGameStudios]

Definitely! i have sword trails on the list. I have been caught up in some sode projects, but hoping to jump back into tutorials soon! Thanks for watching! 😁

[@specops2925]

Wooow amazing! can you show how to turn each particle into a variable to turn into health or XP ? im so excited

[@BreezeGameStudios]

This is something I plan to do a tutorial on when I get time to record more. Soon to come! 😁

I want it too! new subs btw :D@@BreezeGameStudios

@@IFiOstudio Had the same problem, the following two videos helped me solve it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6G6ao2AftSKhqc - custom death event kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3LCaYGCr8eIiqM - exporting blueprint data what you basically want, is to export a boolean flag in the custom death event that marks it as "not died of old age" which practically means collected then you want to export the blueprint data based on that flag being true then in the BP_DropFX you implement the interface and the event so, that you get the length of the Data array (which is the amount of particles collected in a single event call) ad pass that data into the `GetPlayerPawn` -> `Cast To Your Character` -> `call method to increase XP or Health` hope this helps, even if i'm 2 months late

This is amazing

[@BreezeGameStudios]

Thanks! 😁

[@ladybird4444]

I noticed that the particles I generated are not following the character🥲🥲. Is there a way to make them automatically attach to the character? plz help me, thank you!

[@BreezeGameStudios]

Check 3:58 and 9:28 ish times for this set up. You wanna ensure the point attraction force has a user parameter set so that you can access and set the value in the blueprint. Hope this helps and good luck!

[@val81leal]

this is awesome! can you show how to turn each particle into a variable to turn into health or XP?

[@BreezeGameStudios]

yup! i can do a video soon on this!

@@BreezeGameStudios hi, very cool thanks, but will you make a video how, when picking up, each particle replenishes health or something, how is it done through the export of Niagara data to Blueprint?

[@MaxStudioCG2023]

@@BreezeGameStudios hey man have you done that tutorial where the enemy die and transform intoo this effect so that player can take and fill up health with it???

[@BreezeGameStudios]

@MaxStudioCG2023 unfortunately, I haven't gotten to this yet. I have been wrapped up in a couple other projects and haven't been able to do the videos I want yet. It is still on the list! 😊

[@jephrennaicker4584]

This was a really great work here!. but how do I get my player to register that the orb was picked up. As I am trying to do sort of a heal system.I look forward for your new content. Thanks

[@specops2925]

The same to me Did you find any idea how to do it

[@jephrennaicker4584]

@@specops2925 yeah i did actually, you want to look into a 'CallBack' for Niagara. then after that you want the 'Event Rececive Particle Data' within your Orb BP, which leads onto a Trace.

[@KvltWitch]

Thanks so much for adding this! to export the boolean flag in the custom death event do I need to add a new output and set it in the event? any chance you could screenshot your death event and export particle data to blueprint settings? i know this isnt your video or anything so totally understand if you cant be bothered haha but it would be greatly helpful haha@@merlinb5448

[@BreezeGameStudios]

Apologies for the extremely late response, but I posted a new tutorial for this if you weren't able to figure it out yet. Good luck! 😊

[@3D.ART.LEGEND48]

hello pls how to make sound on drop and pickup into this effect

[@Slayer9299]

is it possible to use it in a sequencer?

[@BreezeGameStudios]

yes, you should be able to use this as is in a sequence. however, if you need the particles to move in a specific way, this probably wouldn't be the best option and you may need to create a different vfx for it. but if you need it to just attract like in the tutorial, should work fine 😊

[@Qwiggalo]

Anyone have a solution for orbs sticking to the floor? If they touch the floor like 5% of them get stuck to the ground and never reach the kill particle volume.

[@BreezeGameStudios]

Hmm. I haven't seen this. Let me mess with some settings and see if I can replicate this.

[@Qwiggalo]

@@BreezeGameStudios I think I figured it out, I was placing the effect spawner actor on the ground and it needs to be moved up a bit. My new problem I'm trying to figure out is why the particles fall through the floor after a sec or so

[@BreezeGameStudios]

@Qwigs that's good that you figured out the sticking particles! For falling through the ground, try switching the order of the gravity force and collision (gravity above collision) in the emitter, which sometimes seems to be the issue. Hope this helps!

[@Qwiggalo]

@@BreezeGameStudios Ya this was it! Put the collision module at the end just before the solve forces did the trick, thanks! It must have been the curl force and grav force pulling it down just a bit until it pushed through.

[@kritikalskillz5437]

Hello! First off amazing work! I'd like the particles to move towards actor without overlapping (my player doesnt move, enemies come to me) How hard would this be?
