Description
This Asset can be used in many ways. You can implement it as an action VFX, environmental enhancements, weapon or object enchants, and even as an element of a puzzle. All the effects are 100% perfectly scalable. And because they were made with a Unity native GPU-based Visual Effects Graph, the limit in particle counts is very high.

Asset DOCUMENTATION is also available online.
Here are shots descriptions of each System:
– Points Raycast is useful for action-based Effects, for example, electric turrets, guns, or powerful spells.
– Mesh Raycast acts like Point Raycast, but Lightning Strips are generated from an array of mesh vertices.
– Enchant System is useful for magical or sci-fi enchant-like effects. It generates Lightning Stripts between two pre-generated cells in a static mesh. The enchanted object can be freely moved, and the trails will follow.
– Chain System will fit in many game scenarios as well. You can construct electric fences, and walls, or even use the Chain as an addition to an Enchant System.
