Futuristic launch pad energy beam visual effect created for UEFN in Unreal Engine.
A good jump pad needs clear player feedback. This UEFN tutorial layers an explosive core flash, orbiting energy nodes and an expanding ground ring in Unreal Engine 5 Niagara, then adds velocity ribbon trails that follow the launched player.
Verse handles the gameplay side: a vortex force pulls players toward the center, and the collision trigger is bound to a character launch with custom vectors. It suits battle royale maps, deathruns, speed challenges and Zone Wars in Fortnite Creative.
