Smoke Line

[Magnificence]

Hello,

I managed to make my map playable as a third person shooter. Everyone is a ghost and can shoot with its sniper. I created sound effects at the fire and shot (or origin and destination) points and what I want to do know is to have a 'smoke' like between those points so that when you shoot you also reveal you position. Kind of like Halo (I only played the first one so I don't know if later versions have the same thing).

I don't know how to do that though.

So, any help is appreciated.

Thank you.

this tutorial shows how to make a line effect with a weapon, you can remove the damage if you inflict the damage with triggers

I wouldn't use that one if what you're looking for is a smoke line effect as that flame wave is basically the lurker's attack with the art and damage modified.

But does it work in 3D?

If you mean an FPS type of game, then no, this kind of effect is strictly 2D, it won't orient its Z Axis relative to the target.

could a beam with a custom texture work?
