dude took the "ball" part to serious. Flaming ping pong ball.

Excellent tutorial. Just what i was looking for, explained in a very informative way.
I have one question, while in material editor, i see that you have parameters of the nodes visible right there in the graph. In mine, i have to access them through the Details panel on the left.
I am guessing there must be some setting to enable this.

It is probably more efficient to put the Light Renderer on the Fireball emitter as it is spawned much less often than the Trail emitter and will be less costly in GPU terms.

Hey! Thank you for the tutorial, everything works perfectly. I have one question though. I really liked the style of the fireball and want to use it as a projectile. When I turn off add velocity, collision and gravity force in niagara and try to give movement speed through projectile movement in bp, the vfx just spawns at the location I want, but it has no movement/speed. Do you have any idea why that could be? Thanks in advance. 🤗

I followed the tutorial but the color texture for the grey fireball (made with paint) stays grey and does not change colors when added to the emitter. What do I do if that material does not change colors?

This is nice but could you make it In a way that the fireballs can be targeted in a particular location instead of random and sorry but I don't understand why the fireballs can bounce
Thanks
