Shuriken particle system - scale particle

Questions & Answers
1

I’m using Shuriken in my game and I want the particles to be lines instead of orbs. Is there any way to change the scale of the particles (not the emitter). Like x = 1, y = 1, z = 10.

example: SWTOR: Space Battle Gameplay - YouTube

I want to make my particles to be like the lines you see left and right when the ship is flying.

  1. Create a new Shuriken particle system.
  2. Rotate your particle system toward
    your character, so that the
    particles are firing at the camera
    straight on.
  3. In Renderer, choose “Stretched Billboard”. Length Scale = 10.
  4. Change the Color Over Lifetime so that it starts transparent, stays transparent for a little while, rapidly becomes opaque, and stays there.

This should give you a basic effect to start with. Play with settings, though (Cone Angle, Length Scale, etc.)
