Niagara FX

Particle systems along the vortex path

VortexFX Actor

The VortexFX Actor spawns Niagara particle systems distributed along the vortex spline. Particles are automatically oriented to face the tunnel direction and synchronised with the vortex rotation.

Setup

  1. Place a VortexFX actor in your level
  2. Reference the VortexTunnel actor's spline component
  3. Select your Niagara system in the details panel
  4. Adjust Spacing and Rotation parameters

Included Module Scripts

  • Calculate spawn points along the spline
  • Orient particles to face the vortex direction
  • Synchronise with vortex rotation
  • Handle velocity along the tunnel axis

Runtime FX with Pawn Movement

Attach the Pawn Movement Component to your pawn Blueprint. Configure the FX spawn rate and lifetime — particles will trail behind the pawn as it travels through the tunnel.
