Creating and managing particle effects can greatly enhance the visual appeal of games. Roblox provides various particle emitters like ParticleEmitter, Fire, Smoke, and others that you can use to create effects like explosions, fire, magic spells, and more.
Emitter Types
| Emitter Types | details_header |
|---|---|
| ParticleEmitter | This is a highly customizable emitter that generates 2D images as particles. It can be used for a wide variety of effects such as fire, smoke, dust, and more by adjusting properties like texture, size, color, speed, and direction. |
| Fire | Specifically designed to simulate realistic fire effects, this emitter automatically animates flames and allows control over aspects like size, heat, and color. |
| Smoke | Used for creating smoke effects, this emitter provides options to customize the color, opacity, and rise speed to simulate everything from wispy steam to thick smoke. |
| Sparkles | Adds a sparkling effect to objects, which is effective for visuals like magic effects, enchanted objects, or simply to highlight special items or characters. |
| Trail | Creates a visible trail behind objects, ideal for depicting motion effects such as paths behind fast-moving objects, magical trails, or light streaks. |
| Beam | Generates a straight or curved line between two points, useful for visual effects like laser beams, connections between nodes, or light rays. Beams can be styled with colors, textures, and animation properties. |
