How to make a "tail" behind an asset?

Question

2D

Making a game in Unity3D. Language - C#. The question is: how to make a "tail" behind the asteroid asset, like in Powder - Alpine Simulator? And in general, how difficult will it be and what could help us? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

There is a special component for this purpose - TrailRenderer . Tails are also made using ParticleSystem, but particles are less suitable for your case.

Answer 2

The unit already has built-in components. It's called tail projectile if my memory serves me right.
