How to Create Particles with Spritesheet Textures in Godot | Tutorial

Usually, when creating particle systems in Godot I tend to use single sprites as textures. When I tried to create a particle system that uses a spritesheet and uses random frames as textures I had to experiment for a bit until I got it right, as the solution isn’t as straightforward as I would have hoped. Playing around with it I created some example scenes to help you get some inspiration and use this technique in your games.

If anyone else was wondering about his editor theme, go to editor > editor settings > interface > theme > then pick solarized (dark) under presets.

unfortunately the particle system seems to be completely different in 4.1

I have subscribed, you are a very good instructor, and your game Quetzal has fascinated me, I have seen that it is inspired by Hollow Knight, when the demo version appears I will play it

Great tutorial! Subscribed! Could you please make a video to show us how to make particle effects in a Top-Down game? Since there are lots of changes in Godot 4, it would be great if you do the tutorials in Godot 4. Thanks in advance!
