Adding a Niagara Emitter to a Niagara System
This is a short and sweet tutorial on how to add a new Niagara Emitter to a Niagara System.
Steps to Add
Step 1: Open your Selected Niagara Emitter
In the following example the user has opened a Niagara System (NS_TeleporterGlow)
Step 2: Locate the Timeline Tab
Find the Timeline tab for your Niagara System. In the above image this is already selected.
Step 3: Right Click on the "Track" Region of the Timeline
The "Track" region of the Timeline displays a vertically-stacked list of Emitter names. The area is highlighted in the image below. Right Click in this area.
Step 4: Add an Emitter from the Emitters Context Fly-Out Menu
After clicking, a context menu appears. Select the "Emitters" fly-out menu. Inside the fly-out menu, various emitters are displayed.
Step 4a: Filtering Niagara Emitters
If the Niagara Emitter you are looking to add is not visible in the fly-out menu, it may be because of the filter settings of the fly-out menu.
Users can filter by Emitters in the "Library" (or not), by various sources, and by type of asset. If you don't see the asset you are looking for, try changing these filter settings.
