Trails Behind Projectiles [duplicate]

Question

How would I add comic-like trails to projectiles, such as arrows? I have an example from YouTube, but the effect is done in another software.

The effect occurs around 27 seconds, where an arrow is shot and there is a blue trail behind it.

Try this:blenderdiplom.com/en/tutorials/… It uses the Motion Trail Addon sites.google.com/site/bartiuscrouch/scripts/motion_trail. Unfortunately I haven't done this myself, so I won't make an actual answer. Please let me know how this works out! — Mike Belanger, Commented Jun 16, 2016 at 1:23

You have to use a particle system inside a particle system.

Just add the particle system you want to appear on the object you use for the first system, tweak the time and that should do it.

$\begingroup$ This won't work without using the particle instance modifier $\endgroup$
