Create a dynamic Bat Swarm effect in Unreal Engine 5 Niagara. This pack includes three different versions of the bat swarm so you can use the right style for different situations in your game.

Three Versions Included

  1. Bat Swarm Ring – A circular flying formation of bats
  2. Chaotic Bat Swarm – More random and intense movement (great for rooms or enclosed spaces)
  3. Big Bat Swarm – Larger, more dramatic version for bigger moments

All three systems come with useful User Parameters so you can easily control the look without opening the Niagara system.

Controllable Parameters

  • Spawn Rate – Control how many bats appear
  • Wings Speed – Make the wing flapping faster, slower, or even static
  • Bat Size – Scale the bats up or down
  • Life Multiply – Control how long the bats stay alive
  • Direction – Change the overall flight direction
  • Ring Size (on the Ring version) – Adjust the diameter of the circular swarm

These parameters make the effect very flexible for different gameplay situations.
