Suggestions on how to organize multiple particle systems?
Hi, people!
I'm kinda asking this myself and not finding any concrete information about it...
I have my player and I want it to play different particle effects when casting one skill or another, but I can't quite figure out how to represent this in my hierarchy.
My first attempt was to have multiple effects in one particle system attached to my player, but even though I could access and execute them in my script, the code was just too ugly and incomprehensible.
Then I saw that when you add another particle system from the particle editor, it adds a child game object to the object the particle system is attached to, so I thought that it might be more comfortable to have child game objects of my player, each with its own particle emitter and just turn them on/off when I need to.
Anyway, this technique seems a bit rough and it can easily become messy with just a few more skills (currently I'm just handling 2) or any other effect, so I ask you guys:
How do/would you organize multiple particle effects for your player/any other object?
Thanks in advance!
I'd think organizing particle system is the same as organizing anything else. And depends a lot on personal preference and the exact think you're making.
But sure, lots of people pre-make "there will only be one of these" things as an inactive child, enabled/disabled as needed. You can even make an empty named SpellEffects on the player, that works like a folder.
