Godot 4 VFX how-tos

Short fixes with full GDScript you can paste and run

Tested in Godot 4.7 with the Compatibility renderer.

GPUParticles3D not showing in Godot 4

We broke each setting on purpose in a test scene and looked at what was drawn.

Remove a one-shot particle effect when it ends

Connect finished to queue_free, then call restart() after add_child.

Fade out and stop looping particles

Turn off emitting to stop, tween amount_ratio to fade, and free the node after a delay.

Flipbook animation on GPUParticles3D

Particle Billboard, the right frame counts, and an animation speed above 0.

Fire that turns to smoke in a cone

One emitter, no texture files.
