8. In the Velocity over Lifetime module, set the z velocity to -0.5 to slow the speed over time.
The fire looks a little rolly-polly. Let’s use a curve instead. Also note that Z is the local up direction for the
Shuriken system.
9. Change to Curve and select the Z curve (by color).
10. Add a key at its right side, then drag the left-side key up to 0.
11. Adjust the handles to get a nice Slow out, fast in curve.
The 0 value at the start means the Start Speed value you set earlier is in full effect. At the end, it is only using 0.5 of
that value.
A great improvement over the legacy particles is that Shuriken will react to Wind Zones. To enable the wind effect,
you will have to turn on the External Forces module. You won’t need it for the final game, but it is worth a try.
1. Turn on the External Forces module.
2. Orbit the Scene view until you can see the effect (Figure 11-27).
