Trail Physics: UA question: How might i go about making a trail render that destroys people

Edit: Just noticed that the trail physics is your previous question, I just left it there to make the answer more complete in case others are looking for it in the future

the trail renderer rotates according to your view direction.
Maybe not a good way to make a tron wall.
I suggest you make your own wall by editing vertices.
And about the glow effect， you need a rim transparent shader i think.
maybe this effect

I like that that's exactly how i want it to look. I'm still pretty nooby so this may sound like a stupid answer. What do you mean by making my own wall by editing verticies? O and Btw I dont need the wall to destroy people i have a separate invisable wall that does that. just thought i'd say that. All I need is to make the wall look good and im not sure how to do that. Using the trail render is clearly a bad way to go. but im not sure how to make my own script to make a wall come out the back. Im trying to be as descriptive as possible here. thanks for the help.

I see what you meen by shader, like the diffuse and so on. is the rim transparent shader built in or do i have to get it?
