Impact click animation

Questions
#1

Hi,

I am trying to creat a click and go to position, here is what I have accomplished so far
https://www.babylonjs-playground.com/#V9TF7Z#9

when hovering on ground, image is moving with pointer, and when click on ground, camera animate to that position and an image is placed.

The issue is, I world like this click to be animated, something like when we click it should create a click wave effect. how could I create that? I was thinking to use maybe sprites? I have seen this kind of effect on multiple scenes here ( couldn’t find a link for now)

p.s I am not sure if all the above code is good for performance or if there is any better way to create click and go to position?

I think animating the image is probably the simplest idea. Another recommendation I have would be adding a particle system on top? That might be a cool effect to play with!

@msDestiny14 thank you for your suggestions, I did a sprit but having issue

here is new PG https://www.babylonjs-playground.com/#V9TF7Z#12

I can’t rotate my sprite, I tried to create a node

var rootImpact = new BABYLON.TransformNode("rootImpact", scene);
impact.parent = rootImpact;
rootImpact.rotation.x = Math.PI / 2; // this doesn't works.

basically I want to rotate image sprite to fit on ground.

@Deltakosh can we rotate sprites?

After looking into this a little more another idea I think could be trying using dynamic texture which I think would allow you to animate. Use Dynamic Texture - Babylon.js Documentation .
