Time for action – adding sparkle effects

We want to draw the player's eye to the collectible items that we'll place around the level, so let's add a simple particle effect to the Health_Pickup object:

1. Click on Create | Effects | Particle System in the Hierarchy panel:

2. Position the Particle System object in the middle of the Health_Pickup object.
3. Select the new particle system and update the following properties in the Inspector tab:
   • Start Lifetime to 2
   • Start Speed to 0.25
   • Start Size to 0.75
   • Start Color to orange or a color of your choice

4. Open the Emissions tab and change the Rate Over Time to 5.
5. Open the Shape tab and change the Shape to Sphere:

The Particle System object we created will now render and emit particles in every frame based on the properties we set in the Inspector tab.
