I'm sure theres some way to program one, but theres no built in "make trail" command. Almost anything is possible in DBP, its just up to you to make it that way.

Ahmm if you look closely on how trails are done it's easy to work out...

I took 1 glance at Unreal Tournament 2004 and immediatly thought of how they did it.

Simply created alot of plain objects coloured them blue and placed them with the object timer. E.g. for every 2 seconds put a non-active trail object at the current objects position + rotate it the same way the object is facing... it's nearlly the same way tracks are made behind tanks in things like C&C hope that helps.

I'd show a full example but I only have DBC

thanks,ill try that.i think thats the lazy coders' way of making trails lol. im sure it wont look as good as the real thing,but until i become an expert dbp coder (lol) ill have to go for the fake stuff.





edit:

ok. after playing around in dbp,this is my 1st attempt at a trail,feel free to try it out,use it ,whatever.maybe someone could also improve it?

There are trails in the codebase.
