Time for action – create a particle system

We've learned these steps before—no surprises here. Now let's review how to create a Particle System so that we can get a shattering glass effect for when our steins hit the pavement:

1. Go to GameObject | Create Other | Particle System in the menu.

2. Rename the new Particle System as Glass Smash.

3. Hover the cursor over the Scene view and press the F key to focus the camera on your Particle System. You may have to orbit the camera if the apartment building gets in the way (hold down the Alt key and click/drag to do this).

4. In the Inspector panel, use the following settings (keep all other settings at their default):

   • Duration: 0.25

   • Looping: Unchecked

   • Start Lifetime: 0.2

   • Start Speed: 100

   • Start Size: 0.75

   • Gravity Multiplier: 50

   In the Emission section:

   • Rate: 100

   In the Shape section:

   • Shape: HemiSphere

   • Radius: 3

   • Emit from Shell: Checked

   

5. Finally, uncheck Cast Shadows and Receive Shadows in the Renderer section.
