Like in this game http://www.roblox.com/games/233955812/Fighters-Alpha where the trail isn't a plain line that goes from point A to point B. It looks like its made using triangles but how?

@time if your not helping get out

@ op I can't see the place but an easy way you can do this is with a particle emitter in the torso with a slow speed. Hope this helps if not tell me to "suck a duck"

I can script.

The "basic line trail" I'm talking about would be this:

local part = Instance.new("Part")

for i=1, 10 do
local oldPos = p.Position
wait(0.05)
local newPos = p.Position
local p = Instance.new("Part",workspace)
p.FormFactor = "Custom"
local dist = (oldPos - newPos).magnitude
p.Size = Vector3.new(0.2,0.2,dist)
p.Anchored = true
p.CFrame = CFrame.new(oldPos,newPos) * CFrame.new(0,0,-dist/2)
game.Debris:AddItem(p,1)
end

The "FANCY TRAIL" I'm asking about is one using triangles. I know you need to generate triangles using 3 points (OBVIOUSLY) but where would those points be located etc?
