Everything to Know About PARTICLES in Godot 4 

Just a note: CPUParticles is being put on indefinite hiatus in Godot. They stated in "State of particles and future updates" that "From Godot 4.2 onwards, new features for CPUParticles will not be accepted unless they have a counterpart in GPUParticles. However, contributions to bring CPU particles to feature parity are welcome."

Thank you for the content! This is pure gold! IT CAN BE APPLIED TO 3D EXPLOSIONS in GODOT!!!

your videos are the only ones that work for me! and i think its because of the way you teach, you take your time and show it all in a readable manner. great video!

This is great, I always wanted to know how to do particles in this engine, thanks for the tutorial

thanks for the tutorial matte, we need more tutorials like yours!

Good tutorial - most useful I've seen on this, making it clear the impact of each setting - thanks!

Thanks for the awesome tutorial I am learning new thing every day 😁

Dang. This was very simple and well laid out. I thought particles would be difficult but you made it look simple.

I appreciate your video DevWorm. I'm in need of a couple particles for a Game Jam project I'm working on. Thanks for the information!

Thanks for this, it's great! Have a great Christmas mate!

Pure content, thanks for the great info.

Godot legend, thank you

Nice job!

thanks for the tutorial💓

Hey, thank you for the particle tutorial! I guess it's time for the shader tutorial now :)

Very concise and informative, love it. Would be nice to add a few more examples just to go through the most options in the inspector

THANKS SO MUCH!

Great tutorial, very well explain and useful!! On a side note my OCD is forcing me to comment that the fire color gradient should be the other way around, starting with a bright yellow and ending in red

I was scare of that node but now i wanna see what things i can do with that, Thanks!!

For rain particles, I've seen several tutorials do it this way. None seem to catch that if you have a camera that follows the player, and the particles are emitted from just above that camera, the particles' lifespans will create a bunching effect when the player moves up/down too quickly. In tutorials where they're showing the weather effects in their games, you can sometimes catch this if you watch closely. Have you noticed this issue in any of your games? Any ideas for fixing it? One of the advantages of having the emitter follow the player camera is that only the particles that the player needs to see are being emitted. But I think I've played with every setting trying to eliminate the bunching effect with no luck so far. I imagine the key is somewhere in adjusting the particles' velocity, acceleration, or lifespan. I've also tried adjusting the size, shape and position of the emission box. While I can minimize the effect, I haven't been able to completely eliminate it. Maybe there's a way to adjust some of these values with code based on the player's movement but that seems really complicated for my level of math & coding skill for what is purely a visual 'nice to have'/polish element? I thought the obvious, easier solution might be to have the weather particles emit across the whole map instead of only for the player camera. It does eliminate the problem of particles visually bunching when the player changes vertical direction. However, it introduces a new problem if you want the rain drops to be slow (e.g. light rain as opposed to fast-moving, storm-like rain), and/or if you want your particles to have varying lifespans (e.g. some rain drops hitting the ground before others - as you mentioned in the video this can be added with some animations, etc.). If you want slow rain drops with variable lifespan and you emit them across the whole map, it will always rain more heavily in the top areas of the map compared to the bottom areas. So, do I make the emission box cover nearly the entire map? I feel very lost in the weeds. I never comment on RU-vid videos but I clearly need help lol I just don't want extra raindrops bunched together when my player moves up & down :')

Thanks

Were you in a rush when you've made this video ? There is no need to talk so fast :). Except that, great work and very clear, thanks.

Question, how do I change the asset for the rain? Meaning, instead of wanting it to rain, i want leaf fall some times during the gameplay. I've got the amount and gravity and things right. I also have a png leaf asset. But how do I change the circle/rectangle particles to leaves?

Great video!!! Thank you so so much. I was hoping to know why you recommend CPU over GPU even when saying the GPU is more performant. What is your reasoning for picking the CPU for most tasks?

Yo! You got any ways to save the particles ? Something like saving the blood particles on the floor and stuff like this. I'd really appreciate this!

ok bro i got a question which one should i use for android? cpuparticle or gpu?

Need a full GPU particles run through

Is there something initially you have to do in order to get the particle to "play" or show? From the jump when I add the CPUparticles2D, nothing is playing in my scene. I've checked and everything is visible and I have followed your setup for the explosion, but just not getting anything at all the show on the screen.

How would you get rid of that line that forms in your fire effect?

I hope Godot becomes as powerful as Unreal someday.

Can u make tut how to make pickaxe power? Like 10% pickaxe power mine wood, 20% pickaxe power mine stone( like a terraria)

Why Godot don't upgrade into become number 1 game engine.. if he want to?? Ultra engine + Godot never happen why???
