Unity Script Reference – TrailRenderer

TrailRenderer Inherits from Renderer

The trail renderer is used to make trails behind objects in the scene as they move about.

This class is a script interface for a trail renderer component.

Variables

time	How long does the trail take to fade out.
startWidth	The width of the trail at the spawning point.
endWidth	The width of the trail at the end of the trail.
autodestruct	Does the GameObject of this trail renderer auto destructs?

Inherited Functions

SetPropertyBlock	Lets you add per-renderer material parameters without duplicating a material.
GetComponent	Returns the component of Type type if the game object has one attached, null if it doesn't.
GetComponentInChildren	Returns the component of Type type in the GameObject or any of its children using depth first search.
GetComponentsInChildren	Returns all components of Type type in the GameObject or any of its children.
GetComponents	Returns all components of Type type in the GameObject.
CompareTag	Is this game object tagged tag?
SendMessageUpwards	Calls the method named methodName on every MonoBehaviour in this game object and on every ancestor of the behaviour
SendMessage	Calls the method named methodName on every MonoBehaviour in this game object.
BroadcastMessage	Calls the method named methodName on every MonoBehaviour in this game object or any of its children.
GetInstanceID	Returns the instance id of the object.
ToString	Returns the name of the game object.

Inherited Messages Sent

OnBecameVisible	OnBecameVisible is called when the object became visible by any camera.
OnBecameInvisible	OnBecameInvisible is called when the object is no longer visible by any camera.

Inherited Class Functions

operator bool	Does the object exist?
Instantiate	Clones the object original and returns the clone.
Destroy	Removes a gameobject, component or asset.
DestroyImmediate	Destroys the object obj immediately. It is strongly recommended to use Destroy instead.
FindObjectsOfType	Returns a list of all active loaded objects of Type type.
FindObjectOfType	Returns the first active loaded object of Type type.
operator ==	Compares if two objects refer to the same
operator !=	Compares if two objects refer to a different object
DontDestroyOnLoad	Makes the object target not be destroyed automatically when loading a new scene.
