Trails?

[Appo]

Hi, could somebody help me please, the problem that i'm having is keeping a trail together, it splits up as speed is gained, for example say i had a blue square (the player) and i wanted a red trail behind him, i would create a part of the trail behind the player which then eventuly fades out but like i say the faster the player gets the more the space inbetween the trail, could someone please help me out with this, thanks

Thanks, for that, but i want the trails to last a bit longer and fade out but i can't seem to figure out how to do that with this example, thanks for the help though

Anyone else have any ideas? :blush:

maybe, a semi transparent object following your caracter with a fading animation? (don't ask me how to do it , i dont know but surely others here will know)

Thanks, but the probllem isn't how to create a trail behind the character, it's keeping it together, i'll post a screenshot of what i mean
