    Hey man, You use Spawn Node with Delay Remove Node on Asset being spawned.

    Managed to fix this using a Send& Receive combo which on the trail object adding a delay then a send which sends a signal back to the main character which receives it and then spawns a new trail object causing this process to loop.

    I'm not sure what you are after exactly but a Particle system is coming in BB3. You can see a Fire example at the moment.

    you Spawn as Asset, then Inside the spawned Asset you put Delay and remove so it stays for some seconds and remove.
    Like this. I also used Scale Animation here. you can use that too.

    @rizwanashraf Is that video something you are working on? If so looks great. Where do you get your assets for rocks and grass etc from? I'm not a 3D artist so i buy all mine.

    I literally wrote down how i made this, you can follow along ? This is super easy, You spawn an Object with Timer, Timer will set how fast or slow spawn rate would be. Nothing changes in spawn node. and then the object you spawning has some nodes like Scale animation and then remove node with delay attached. that is all.

    Hey, Glad it worked for you. If you look into a Spawn Node, There is an ent.setPosition. You can modify those values and it will spawn at the given value of its parent.

    Hey No problem :) Yes it can be used in so many situations if used carefully because that can be a performance Heavy too. :) Glad it worked for you.

    This game looks stunning. Love the foggy atmosphere you got going on here. Have you a release date for it?
