HOW TO MAKE COOL TRAIL EFFECTS - UNITY TUTORIAL

In this easy unity tutorial we will take a look at how to make cool trail effects :) !
We'll start off with the awesome trail renderer component, and we'll then see how with the use of sprites and a bit of C# we can come up with loads of cool trail effects (to simulate snake like movement for example)

This is the perfect unity tutorial. You demonstrated what was written in the title without fluff, um-ing and uh-ing and long-winded explanations. It was concise, well-articulated, showed me EXCATLY what I had to do and how to do it with out any ambiguous or skipped steps. On top of that, you threw in some cool bonus stuff to try out. This should be the gold standard that all programming tutorials and how-tos follow. My hats off to you sir. And thank you very much for your great work.

Your videos are so cool! The trail tutorial is already awesome but then you even show how to spawn random textures and all that good stuff, you are amazing!

[@Blackthornprod]

Thanks so much :) ! Yep I felt as if just showing the trail renderer component was a little short, so I had loads of fun coming up with other cool ways to make trail effects :) I'm really glad you found those tips helpful !

[@Yamyatos]

@@Blackthornprod Just wanted to mention that you are definitely one of the best Unity tutorial makers on youtube. It's very helpful and very creative, showing different options and even tons of real game examples, which really helps getting ideas as well. All in all, must take a lot of time but thanks for doing it :)

[@bunggo9914]

wow, you are a legend. your content always inspires me...

[@stesproject]

Wow Blackthornprod, these techniques are amazing! I just want to let you know that the Instantiate and Destroy methods are very expensive for your memory, especially if you instantiate and destroy so many objects. In these cases is preferred to use an objects pool instead, knowing that more than N objects won't appear on the screen :)

[@rafagleich2258]

I know it is a bit late comment, but could you elaborate please? I'm new and I'm not sure what you are talking about, but I constantly instantiate and destroy objects.

[@stesproject]

@@rafagleich2258 you just need to search for "object pooling" and you'll find a lot of information 🙂 is a programming pattern and if you use Unity it's essential. There are also game engines that don't need this "trick", like Godot. All depends on how the engine handles the system memory.

[@rafagleich2258]

@@stesproject that’s amazing! I will definitely dig into it. Thank you for sharing that ;)

[@Mechwolf]

[@Blackthornprod]

Hey and thanks so much :) ! I'm actually 18 and in two weeks I'll have finished my final high school exams ;D ! I'm not planning on going to college but to delve into the world of game dev and blackthornprod full time once I'm done with high school, learning and progressing with internet and with loads of practise ! I started game dev roughly 2 years ago, my secret to learning and improving is really just to make loads and loads ! Even terrible, ugly flappy bird clones will make you better ! So yeah just keep creating and you'll improve in no time :), best of luck on your own journey mate, cheers !

[@SebaneseTheLebanese]

Blackthornprod thank you so much!! I'm 17 and about to write my final exams too! I really don't want to attend one more year in high school but I guess I have to to go to college.. I'm currently working on a game that I really feel can be great some day! I would love to hear your thoughts on it, I will make a video about it on my channel please keep Intouch until then. Then u can forget about me😂 Goodluck woth your journey too man, keep it up!

Hi, I have an error : EchoEffect.cs(12,13): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'Player' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) Can you help me? Here is my discord : DEYROS#9859

Invite to your discord is invalid for some reason

[@XxTDvLxX]

Really awesome stuff I'm obsessed with your videos lol Is it possible to make the trail exist even when the object/character isn't moving? I had the fun Idea of making a scarf for my character be a trail effect but when he's idle it disappears completely, any suggestions?

[@goncalocorreia7489]

Hey Blackthornprod! Love your videos! Could you possibly do a tutorial on how to make an interactive map for a 2d strategy game? Thanks!

[@SimF1e]

when you said you quit social media, i thought you would make no more videos.... i was wrong... THANKFULLY!!!!!!

[@ahmedafridee3997]

love your tutorials bro...can you make one for a shockwave effect

[@95VideoMan]

thank you!

[@everton.colombo]

Hey, I really wanted to see a typewriter effect tutorial on your channel, Hope to see one soon

[@cristobalr451]

You will be the next brackeys, cool videos :)

[@jrhager84]

Agreed. Two awesome dudes!

[@lhenardabraham9068]

I think he will be better than brackeys

[@jrhager84]

I dunno, I think they each add their own strengths to their videos. It also seems like Brackey's (and Sykoo) are a bit more versed in the deeper aspects of Unity. A big feature of Blackthorn is the fact that he's also an artist, and can really make his own assets.

[@457Deniz457]

I think :O that :O he is #better than #brackeys :O :D Bcs he dont just talk blabla He shows usefull tutorials :)

[@ohnsonposhka9891]

Can somebody help me? What do I need to do if I want to make the particles interact with user input ie. a fog that moves away from a click of a mouse and keeps on moving until the user stops holding the button down? Thanks in advance.

[@megasoniczxx]

So when you were making the player variable is the "Player" a defined unity function that you called or was it the name of the actual character that you had? Curious because I was trying to figure out how to call variables from the other script on my player character not too long ago and the tutorials on it were really confusing me.

[@muhammadhasansiddiqui6017]

you could use particle system instead of coding for that echo like effect

[@ucagdascoskun]

Good content!

[@B_Carr007i]

Wow! Good video

[@alinawaz4034]

i think we also can use partical system for this work which may be very efficient and easy for this purpose

[@rohanpereira7084]

Awesome man👌

[@momo-zr1tz]

Fantastic tutorial, everything made perfect sense! Thank you!

[@gilmarprado8572]

Thanks

[@joebeerlobe]

thankk you

[@Phoenix1337]

You can do the same with the partical system, Spawning mulltible game objects is real taxing on the system

[@hello-sk6nc]

That code does not work when im in 3d mode, do you know how to fix this?
