How do you make Impact Effects?

[strange_aeons]

i was following along with the video tutorials to make a weapon and theres a part where impact effect is assigned, only it isnt explained how they are created. also is it possible to have a particle effect rather than a decal as the impact effect?

If you point out the time in the video you are referring to I will have a better idea but it sounds like you are referring to the surface system. You are able to use particles for it, take a look at this overview:

Surface System - Opsive

The Surface System is responsible for spawning effects caused by collisions and impacts. It is designed to be dynamic, powerful, and useful in a board . . .

opsive.com

You will want to modify the surface effect.
