How to make proper trail ?

Hey guys ,

I wanted to make a trail for my game that dissapears after time , but I saw something really crappy when I tried to make one ... C2 racks up the object , meaning if an object opacity = 20 and another object opacity = 30

, the area where the two objects overlap opacity's = to 50 , also , C2 isn't able to spawn objects fast enough for the object to connect if the object are spawned from a moving object ... I know it's for performance , but that blocks us from making good trails ...

Ashley ?

And if anyone would be able to show us an example !

Thanks a lot !

Any help ?

You might be able to use a Particle emission instead of a series of spawned Sprites. You can remove gravity and tweak acceleration/deceleration to make them hang in place, and use the lifespan (what is that called again?) to decide how long it stays behind.

any good to you ?

Here's some ways to do a trail fade:
