I am trying to do an effect very similar to the shield effect that comes in the shoot’em up package that TimelineFX supply’s but I’m confusing myself and not sure how to do it.
I’m trying to use the shape I’ve attached. But I can’t get it to work no matter how i got about it.
I’m trying to do it for a game I’m making.
Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.
I’m very grateful if someone does it for me, but if you do could you give me instructions on how you did it/ what I was doing wrong.I’d rather learn to how to do it my self to be honest.
(Teach a man to fish etc etc…)
Hi, that shape you’re using is black, so you won’t be able to apply colour to it. It’s best to use shapes that are greyscale or white so that you can use colour with them. If you want it black then just set the colour to black in the editor. Also anything that’s black won’t work if you have additive set on the particles tab as they’ll be no colour to actually add up.
I got it working by inverting the image to make it white, then imported the shape and applied it to the shield effect. Then I just set the angle to not be random on the particle tab. Hope that helps!
