How do I create a trail

I want to create a trail like in this video

(its thicker at the tail and and thinner at the back of the plane)

Hi!

You need to pin an object beside your avatar and create two variables that store the previous avatar position.

Then set the following events:

Set object WIDTH to distance(Object_Initial_Pos_X,Object_Initial_Pos_Y,Actual_Pos.X,Actual_Pos.Y)

Set object HEIGHT to Self.Width/15

Set object ANGLE to angle(Object_Initial_Pos_X,Object_Initial_Pos_Y,Actual_Pos.X,Actual_Pos.Y)

System set Object_Initial_Pos_X to Actual_Pos.X

System set Object_Initial_Pos_Y to Actual_Pos.Y

PS.: The Actual_Pos is the actual position of the moving object. I did this to a slice casual game, so I think it will work well with your game.

Good luck!

also look at particles - warning keep an eye on how many particle you are creating...

lukezero thanks, but where should I put those events? Should I use an every tick or ?

roteam There is a CAPX example that I made for you: <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_wink.gif" alt=";)" title="Wink">
