How to put a paticle-effect on the Character-sphere?

[anonymous_user_d4d5d498]

Hello there,

some friends and I create a jump ’n’ run-video game.
Therefor we want some effect around our chracter like in this video:
Street Fighter 4 Tutorials - Ep. 2 - The Focus System - YouTube.

When the figther go back to hold on his energy, to get more power, he have a “black-aura” or “flames” around him.
This is the effect we want.

My question is: How I can put a particle effect around a my charakter, not completly at first on the right and left, that you can still see you character. I hope you know what I mean.

Try:

1. to get the particle effect I try
   this:
   Street Fighter 4 Tutorials - Ep. 2 - The Focus System - YouTube
2. to get it on the Charakter I try
   this:
   [Beginner] [Tutorial] How to start making particle systems in Unreal Engine 4 - YouTube

There are maybe some ideas oder keyword, or maybe a package for free or to buy for these effect?

Many thanks in advance.
P.S. sorry About my english

In you Character, you can add a Particle Component, or many. You would have them set with Auto Activate OFF

Then use the blueprint to activate the particles at the right moment.

Hope this helps

Now we use blood-effekts on the Floor.

But thank you for your help.
