Overview
The VFX Creator gives you options to create and customize your own visual effects. This is more flexible than the VFX Spawner, which gives you a selection of pre-made visual effects to choose from but limits how much you can customize or change those effects.
The VFX Creator creates a sprite particle effect. You have a large variety of sprites to choose from, and a lot of ways to customize how the particle effect works and what it looks like. Using this device, you can create unique effects for your game.
Some examples for how you can use this device:
- Highlight an in-game event, such as the beginning or end of a race, or the completion of objectives.
- Make eliminating a boss even more spectacular and satisfying for players.
- Create a particular atmosphere on your island, or emphasise the fantastical origin of your game's setting.
- Create environmental effects like rain or leaves to make your island stand out.
- Create interesting trail effects by attaching the VFX to a player
This device has some basic functionality, like choosing the sprite for the effect, and choosing the color and brightness of the effect. Additionally, there are some advanced options, like choosing a secondary color and determining whether the effect loops.
