Hitscan Guns with Bullet Tracers | Raycast Shooting Unity Tutorial

Learn how to show bullet trails, aka bullet tracers to your "hitscan" guns that use Raycast. This easy to implement VFX is a great way to show your players where the bullets are going besides just bullet impacts. In the tutorial you'll learn how to implement a hitscan gun that does not use rigidbody physics, but instead uses a Raycast to determine if the bullet should hit or not. You'll learn how to add in variable bullet spread, show the bullet trail, and play an impact particle system at the location if impact. 👨‍💻 As always, all code from this video is available on GitHub: https://github.com/llamacademy/raycas... 🏷️Save 25% on the ultimate C# IDE: JetBrains Rider with code LLAMACADEMY: https://www.jetbrains.com/store/?sect... 📚 Resources: ⚫ Bouncing Bullets, Handle Misses, and Constant Bullet Speed:    • Bouncing Bullets with Hitscan Guns | Unity...   ⚫ Introduction to Object Pooling:    • Introduction to Object Pooling in Unity | ...   ⚫ 2021 Native Object Pooling API:    • Unity 2021 Object Pool API - What is Objec...   ⚫ Configure Bullet Trails with ScriptableObjects:    • Bullet Trails Using the TrailRenderer | Un...   ⚫ Spawn a Unique Impact Particle System Per Material:    • Physically-Based Bullet Impact Effects | U...   🧡 Believe in LlamAcademy's mission and have received value from the videos?
