A dashed line as trail
Hello, I want to create a trail which is a dashed line with a specific length and faded out at the end. The object I would like to attach the trail to is only moving in straight lines. See the attached picture to get an idea of what I would like to do.
Do you guys have a idea how to do it?
I've been trying to achieve this too with trail renderer however it seems like it just makes the material follow the sprite ins$$anonymous$$d of leaving it behind. It would be great to also make it work for object that are also not going in a straight line.
I just made my own. Attach to whatever you want the effect on.
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class DashedTrailEffect : MonoBehaviour
{
float timeBtwSpawns;
public float startTimeBtwSpawns;
public float deleteAfterSeconds;
public GameObject dash;
private void FixedUpdate()
{
if (timeBtwSpawns <= 0)
{
GameObject line = Instantiate(dash, transform.position, transform.rotation);
Destroy(line, deleteAfterSeconds);
timeBtwSpawns = startTimeBtwSpawns;
}
else
{
timeBtwSpawns -= Time.deltaTime;
}
}
}
