How can i spawn effect at mouse position?


Closest thing that i get is that. But effect spawning at 0-0-0 world location.

Use a linetrace from the mouse location to find the hit location, and spawn the VFX there :slight_smile:

Thank you.
But what is the right connection for the location in Spawn system at location?

NMV. Found it! Thanks again!

Just in case anybody else comes here looking for it:

Drag from the Out Hit and select “Break Hit Result”. Expand the node, and use the “Location” Vector 3 found there :slight_smile:

I just wanted to add something that may not be very well known, but there is an engine plugin called “Niagara Example Custom DataInterface”, designed to be a template example if you want to implement your own data interface, which actually provides exactly this functionality directly inside Niagara!

It may not be directly answering the initial problem, but I thought it would be relevant to share (you could not use that to spawn the system itself of course, but you can use it later to do some mouse-relative particles spawn/logic)
