Particle System On Key Press
I'm trying to add a particle effect when my player walks in my game, but I don't even know where to begin. Can anybody help me? It's a 2D game in case it matters.
Go to : GameObject > Create Other > Particle System
Under "Particle System" on the particles in the Inspector, un-tick "Play On Awake"
In your player script, reference the ParticleSystem at the top of the class:
public ParticleSystem particles;
Drag the particles in your Hierarchy view into the particles variable slot on the player script.
Where you check for movement in your player script, do something like the following:
if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.A)){
particles.Play();
}
if(Input.GetKeyUp(KeyCode.A)){
particles.Stop();
}
Or if you are using GetAxis or GetAxisRaw:
float axis = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
if(axis < 0 || axis > 0 && !particles.isPlaying){
particles.Play();
}
else if(particles.isPlaying){
particles.Stop();
}
That should be enough to get you on the right track.
You can also use particles.Pause, particles.enableEmission = true/false, and particles.Emit.
