ok so im making a game with a fruit ninja style blade but i cant get it to look fluid like fruit ninja because when you quickly move your fingers the particles spread apart and i dont want it to look like that is there any way to make it like spawn particles super close together or something, I tried increasing the particle amount but that didnt work either so im kinda stuck....

also is there any way to make a blade exactly like fruit ninja like use and image and have it form to the movement of touch? any ideas cuz just the particles look kinda gross but anyway...

if anyone has a template of just the blade or video tutorial that would be great if you let me know about it thanks!

    I'm somewhat new here, but I think I can help:
    Create a rule that says when touch is pressed, use the particle behavior.
    You can alter various aspects of this behavior (color,number of particles, image, frequency, etc.)
    You could also try using a timer in conjunction with the particles(ex: spawn particle actor every 0.2 seconds)
    Also check our Thirtbooth's free tutorial on Particles on www.GShelper.com
    Hope this helps :D

    Alright guys. Mine's not too good, but I came up with a better idea of how to do it, but I got a little lazy and was having fun with other projects too. For info on how to do it, check out my blog post on my awesome, beta website here:

    Tell me what you think!
    @williamt2706 - I'm guessing he too a small glowing one of those sword images, rotated it, and stretched it. Thanks for sharing. It is really awesome. I wish I had the template.
