WEBVTT 00:06.830 --> 00:07.850 Welcome back. 00:07.850 --> 00:10.520 So we've got some nice sounds for our ghoul. 00:10.640 --> 00:16.550 I'd like to have a trail that can follow its arms when it swipes. 00:16.580 --> 00:19.490 Now, we do have an asset for that. 00:19.490 --> 00:27.680 If we go to assets effects combat, there's a trail folder with combat trail. 00:27.710 --> 00:29.330 Now, you can't really see it. 00:29.330 --> 00:36.890 It's kind of hard to see unless it's in motion, because if we look at our emitter here, it's spawn 00:36.920 --> 00:45.040 per unit, which means as this effect is moving throughout space, it's spawning itself over and over. 00:45.050 --> 00:47.170 So we really have to see it in action. 00:47.180 --> 00:50.990 So we're going to add this ribbon trail. 00:50.990 --> 00:54.100 And to do that, we go to our attack montage. 00:54.110 --> 00:57.140 So I'm going to close out some of these tabs. 00:57.140 --> 01:02.390 Here's the hit React, which I'm going to browse to so I can open the attack and I'm going to close 01:02.390 --> 01:04.040 out of the rest of these, though. 01:05.240 --> 01:07.000 Except for combat trail. 01:07.010 --> 01:16.130 Now, the way we use a ribbon emitter on a montage is we go to the part where we want to start showing 01:16.160 --> 01:16.790 that trail. 01:16.790 --> 01:24.080 So something like right here, I'm going to add a new notify track called Trail and we right click and 01:24.080 --> 01:25.850 add a notify state. 01:25.850 --> 01:29.180 And this is going to be a timed Niagara effect. 01:29.180 --> 01:33.620 And we spread this across however long we want that trail to last. 01:33.620 --> 01:41.150 So something like right here and we set this to a Niagara system, we're going to use this combat trail. 01:41.240 --> 01:45.290 So with the combat trail selected, I browse to it. 01:45.290 --> 01:46.340 So it's selected. 01:46.340 --> 01:49.880 I'm going to hit that left arrow to set this to combat trail. 01:49.880 --> 01:55.490 And we also need to specify a socket to spawn the trail at. 01:55.490 --> 01:59.330 So I want a socket on the left and the right hands. 01:59.330 --> 02:07.200 So for that reason I'm going to browse back to the ghoul attack so I can go into the ghoul and open 02:07.200 --> 02:10.530 sqm ghoul and take a look at its hands. 02:10.530 --> 02:14.610 Now we have a left hand socket already and we have a right hand socket. 02:14.640 --> 02:20.700 Now we could use those or if we wanted the trail to be a little bit farther out, we can add additional 02:20.700 --> 02:21.570 sockets. 02:21.570 --> 02:27.090 I'm going to add additional sockets by right clicking on wrist are add socket and I'm going to call 02:27.090 --> 02:30.300 this one right trail socket. 02:30.330 --> 02:36.900 So we'll have socket specifically for the trail and it'll be a little bit farther out like right here. 02:36.900 --> 02:44.820 And I'm going to add another socket to the left wrist, right click add socket, rename this to left 02:44.850 --> 02:50.250 trail socket and I'm going to move this one out as well, just past the hand. 02:50.250 --> 02:52.230 That's where I'd like that trail to be. 02:52.230 --> 03:00.090 And back in the montage for the socket name, this is the attack L So I'm going to select left trail 03:00.090 --> 03:02.900 socket and I don't see it here. 03:02.910 --> 03:10.680 So back on the static mesh, I'm going to save and come back and now I see left trail socket. 03:10.680 --> 03:12.960 So now if we play this. 03:15.710 --> 03:17.680 Now we can see that trail. 03:17.690 --> 03:23.560 So it's a little subtle, but we can definitely see it at certain angles. 03:23.570 --> 03:25.670 It's got some refraction there. 03:25.700 --> 03:30.120 Now, I want to add this to the right hand attack as well. 03:30.140 --> 03:32.360 So I'm going to add another notify track. 03:32.360 --> 03:39.020 Call this trail and I'm going to add a notify state starting here. 03:39.020 --> 03:44.750 So add notify State, it's going to be a timed Niagara effect and it'll go to about here. 03:45.230 --> 03:48.830 And I'm going to select the combat trail. 03:48.830 --> 03:52.640 And this one is going to be on the right trail socket. 03:53.480 --> 03:56.090 Save that and let's see how it looks. 03:56.360 --> 03:57.740 There it is. 03:58.070 --> 04:00.800 And we can test in the Pi. 04:03.860 --> 04:05.090 I'm on a client here. 04:07.460 --> 04:10.100 And there's the trail and it looks great. 04:11.290 --> 04:18.520 So little details like these kind of accumulate together to create something really special. 04:18.520 --> 04:21.940 And right now our lighting is looking pretty lame. 04:21.940 --> 04:26.950 We're going to fix the lighting and make it a little bit darker so it looks like we're in a dungeon 04:26.950 --> 04:31.630 and these effects are really going to look a lot better in the dark as well. 04:31.630 --> 04:35.320 So that's another thing to look forward to coming up soon. 04:35.320 --> 04:41.830 But now our ghoul has a swipe effect and it looks quite nice. 04:41.830 --> 04:43.030 So excellent. 04:43.030 --> 04:44.020 Excellent job. 04:44.020 --> 04:47.770 And we'll continue in the next video.
