  • Laser beams from weapons
  • Energy links during charging states
  • Portal connections between entrances and exits
  • Magical light beam attacks
  • Electric weapon effects

The Trail object leaves a visual path behind moving objects, adding motion and dynamic visual effects.
It’s useful for:

  • Afterimages of fast-moving characters
  • Sword swings and slash trails
  • Bullet paths
  • Drift effects in racing games
  • Fiery traces from magical characters

:blue_book: See detailed usage guide
