Overview
The AfterimageSettings node is a node exclusive to ACTION GAME MAKER, designed to implement so-called afterimages.
Setup
- Add the AfterimageSettings node as a child node of the GameObject.
- Specify the node that will generate the afterimage in the AfterimageSettings node’s properties (Afterimage Target):
- Sprite Animation: Specify a Sprite2D node or an AnimatedSprite2D node.
- 2D Bone Animation: Specify a BoneAnimationRoot2D node.
Explanation of Each Property
Enable Afterimage: Toggles the afterimage on or off.
Amount: The maximum number of afterimages that can be displayed simultaneously. Afterimages exceeding this limit are removed from the oldest first, ignoring their remaining duration.
Interval: The generation interval for afterimages.
Duration: Specifies how many seconds the afterimage will remain active.
Set Color: When enabled, allows filtering by color and adjusting opacity.
Fade Out: When enabled, the afterimage gradually fades over time.
FadeOutDuration: Specifies the time at which the fade-out effect begins.
Usage Example
You can enable the afterimage at the start of a dodge action and disable it at the end, so that the afterimage only appears during the dodge.
Important Notes
- Only one afterimage node can exist; therefore, you cannot generate afterimages from multiple images using a single game object.
- Settings for color and fade-out use the same functionality as filters and may conflict. Additionally, this will not function correctly on images where the “Use Parent Material” option is not enabled.
