​
Overview

The Tactical Shooter Pack comes with muzzle flash and empty casing effects. All VFX were built with Particle System, and they are compatible with all render pipelines: Built-In, URP, and HDRP. All effects can be found in “KINEMATION/TacticalShooterPack/VFX”.
Note: All effects were made with Particle System and Shader Graph.

​
Muzzle Flashes

These effects come as game-ready prefabs, which you can add to your weapons and play right from code.

Pistol unsuppressed muzzle flash.

Muzzle flashes consist of the flash itself and child components — smoke, sparks, vertical and horizontal bursts (e.g., Pistol, Assault and Sniper Rifles). They are added directly to weapon prefabs in the pack:
Tip: Smoke is the only part that’s played in World space.
To play a muzzle flash, define a reference to a Particle System and call this function when firing:

​
Empty Casings

These are simple effects that only include the casing and some smoke: Mesh and material settings can be adjusted in the “Renderer” tab:

Empty casing mesh and material.

Casings particles reside in weapon prefabs, just like muzzle flashes: The Tactical Shooter Pack relies on events to play empty casings at a specific moment in the animation:

The even is implemented in the weapon script:
Tip: Similar to muzzle flashes, declare a reference to an empty casing Particle System and use the Play method to activate it.
