Does anyone have any ideas how I might achieve this Sparkle Effect, but with an animated image instead of static ones?

    It's a particle behavior... why wouldn't it work with an animated image?

    you can only select static images, not animated ones. Unless you can show me wrong which id much appreciate.

    Hey @BenMakesGames, if you wanna generate animated images around your actor, use the 'Spawn Actor' behavior. Rather than explain it in words, I'll giva you a link to a little demo I made where I was trying to simulation that old school explosion effect that you would have seen on classic games like Contra, Gunstar Heroes and Metal Slug, to name a few. The principles in this demo can easily be applied to what you're looking to do, so I hope you find it helpful:

    Quick note, the explosion images are ones I found off of google images and don't belong to me, I just used them here for demonstration purposes.
