Research direction

The issue identifies Unity's TrailRenderer and requests replacing it with a custom point-based stretch mesh, but names no files or tests. Start by locating the WeaponTrail implementation and reading how it currently supplies trail positions and texture coordinates. Done means the trail follows the sword's path with a stretched texture instead of facing the camera as a billboard.

Description

Currently the WeaponTrail is a TrailRenderer from Unity. But this one is a flat Billboard. Let's move it to a custom rendered point-based stretch mesh.

TODOs

  • TrailRenderer is not working properly as it's always facing the camera (billboard). Remove it.
  • Implement a custom trail renderer which "stretches" the texture and positions it along the way
