[unique] Weapon afterimage/swing trail

[BlaCkBlitZ]

I'm guessing many of us here have played at least 1 game, where the NPC or player would swing their swords or weapon, and this trail of colour follows along the part of the weapon that does damage to indicate a powerful strike or blow.

 

Example in youtube video:

 

As you can see the player was fighting with another different player and their weapon had these visual effects that blazed behind their weapon as they hit the enemy.

 

Is it possible to bind such effects to rings? So when you wear the ring, the effect would activate on whichever weapon you are holding.

OR

Like CDM's Skeletal race, by equipping something for a brief moment/activating something to open a menu, you can choose different effects?

 

Different effects could range from colour to colour. Glowing colour to glowing colour. Adding particle effects like a tiny bit of static electricity flying along.

Good idea! I think it shouldnt be colorful, but wind stream behind thj swing trail. Just like in Dark Messaih of Might and magic

Yeah this idea would be great, if it were possible or deemed possible by a modder...

Another source for how these trails of energy look like.
