Trying to create an electric wave along bezier.

Hello,

I’m trying to create an animated electric wave effect that bends along a bezier curve. I started with a simplified version of the Jacobs Ladder sample project, where the electricity start in the pivot of the objects and ends in a second point.

I’m having trouble adding points in the middle to bend the wave manually.
Everything I tried brake the interpolation between the particle lines.

The closest thing I managed to do is using the bias of the vector field, but the wave gets smoother the more I bend it and it’s not what I am aming for.

Maybe this tutorial from Thomas Iché can help you ?
