How to spawn particles around a circle?
Posted: Fri May 08, 2020 12:57 pm
Hi guys,
I'm trying to create an effect where particles spawn around (but not inside) a circle. Sorta like the particles that spawn when a pokemon is caught.
At first I thought I could do this by setting an offset, but I don't see any option to only spawn particles a certain distance away from the emitter.
I also considered just using a ton of emitters along the outside of the circle but that seems super inefficient.
I am also considering using a massive acceleration to teleport the particles to the boundaries of the sphere. This also seems like a hacky solution because the particles will still spawn from the center and their appearance will be delayed.
What is the best way of doing this?
Thanks,
Harrison
