Following on from JGary321 tutorial on trails (http://gamesalad.com/forums/topic.php?id=6534). I have produced a slightly different method for producing trails.

3 types

1. Nice evenly spaced dotted line
2. solid line (watch your resources though)
3. same as 2 but coloured

Download and enjoy.

    You're welcome guys. I just like the look of the dotted line, sometimes i put it on actors just to look at it. Sad eh?

    EDIT - try introducing another sprite that collides with the trail.

    I can see a reverse doodle jump game, where your 'fire' platforms for your character to bounce off of. that would be pretty cool! Hey forget everything i just told you guys!! :)

    @MrFB: I could also see the trail stuff set to fall straight down too for a napalm effect!

    @QS: Oh, crap! Didn't see it! Well, at least the other one is linked now too...or was that one already linked too??

    Maybe I need to wait until I drink my second Dr. Pepper before posting in the morning!

    Okay, I'll edit the "link" post of mine above to something more useful!

    :-D

    Yeah, I'll probably move onto that to finish off my liver after the Dr. P kills off my kidneys!
