How can I make Particles2D behave like actual matter (e.g. dirt)

Hey. I am trying to make my Particles2D behave like actual dirt for example. They are only emitted when the player hits the ground (already figured that out with a RayCast2D).

How can I make them go up at normal speed, make them slower and slower until they reach their peak and then make them go down again. I think you know which kind of behaviour I’m talking about.

Thanks.

Try this:

As far as I know, theres no built in way to do that sort of thing in the way that the Particles2D node currently works.

There are several parameters to play, but the ones that define this behavior are:
Direction: Set the direction of the particles. In this negative case for the particles to rise
Velocity: The speed or force with which they rise.
Gravity: so that the particles go down.
As far as I know, the particles still don’t have a collision system, but they can control the lifetime parameter to specify how long it takes for the particle to die.

Thanks. The effect looks much better now.
