# Trails

This doc goes into how to add trails in Roblox. The following page goes into all the Trail Settings in detail.

A Trail is a 2D texture that connects two different points over time the end result looks like a trail. With some tweaks to the asset you can get a wide range of results such as fire, electricity or just a cool phase appearance.

* Add *two* 'Attachment's to an asset in your project with the '+' next to the asset, usually on the one part. But it is possible to have them separate for some unique results.\
  One attachment is the *top* of the trail, the second is the *bottom*. Trails cannot connect to Parts on their own, they have to use Attachments.
* Add a 'Trail' to one of the parts. It can be anywhere, but might as well put it on an asset related to the result.
* Scroll down the details to 'Attachment0' and 'Attachment1' in the Properties Panel and select your two attachments accordingly.
