Start Trail

Description

The Start Trail behavior will emit a trail effect from an object. When you want this effect to stop, you can disable it via SetBehavior State or use the Stop Visual Effects behavior.

This behavior will trigger an event immediately.

⚠️ EXPERIMENTAL: Currently, there are some issues with the trail effect where it can visually warp at weird angles when its parent object is making sharp turns. This behavior may change in the future to fix all visual bugs from this effect.
