Plasma Beam in Unreal Engine 5 Niagara

Create a powerful and highly customizable Plasma Beam in Unreal Engine 5 Niagara. This energy beam features glowing rings, plasma core, and impact effects — perfect for sci-fi weapons, laser attacks, or magical energy beams.

The system is designed to be flexible and easy to control with a set of useful User Parameters.

What’s Inside the Video

In this showcase you’ll see:

  • The full Plasma Beam effect in action
  • How to move and rotate the beam
  • How to link the beam start and end points to characters or objects using Blueprints
  • Full control over the look using User Parameters

Controllable Parameters

  • Beam End Position – Set or link the end point of the beam
  • Beam Width – Make the beam thinner or thicker
  • Impact – Toggle impact effects on both ends
  • Ring Count – Increase or decrease the number of rings
  • Ring Size – Scale the rings larger or smaller
  • Life / Speed – Control how fast the rings travel along the beam
  • Panning Speed – Adjust the scrolling speed of the beam texture
  • Ability to turn off impacts or rings for a cleaner static beam

You can also easily attach the beam between two characters or objects using simple Blueprint logic (shown in the video).
