Best way to handle temporary VFX?

dlpantsta

Surprisingly I couldn't really find anything about this. I basically just need a system that I can use that allows for scenes to spawn premade particles in an AnimatedSprite2D.

I need it to be in a function that any scene could call, like, "spawn_particle(type, position)" Maybe even a timer for doing it continuously.

I have tried doing it, but I failed 😭

Any help or better ways to approach this would be appreciated greatly, thanks!

dlpantsta Do you mean to spawn it as a child to a AnimatedSprit2D node?

Could you not just have a global script with a function that can be called to spawn it?

Maybe even a better way is to create a global signal signal spawn_particle(type, position) that any scene could hook into that would spawn. Then whenever you need to trigger a spawn, you just emit the signal YourGlobalClass.spawn_particle.emit(<type>, <position>)
