TapEffect

English | 日本語

Overview

TapEffect is a Unity package that displays a ripple tap interaction effect on Unity UI (uGUI).

When the user taps or clicks on the screen, a ripple animation is rendered using a custom shader. Multiple simultaneous tap effects are supported, with configurable maximum count and lifetime.

Requirements

• Unity 2021.3 or later
• UniTask 2.5.10 or later
• ObjectReference 1.0.0 or later

Installation

Open Window > Package Manager, select [+] > Add package from git URL, and enter the following URL:

https://github.com/AndanteTribe/TapEffect.git?path=src/TapEffect.Unity/Packages/jp.andantetribe.tapeffect

Quick Start

1. Add the TapEffect component to a UI GameObject that is a child of a Screen Space - Overlay Canvas (e.g., a full-screen panel).
2. Assign a material using the _material (IObjectReference<Material>) field in the Inspector.
3. Adjust Max Count and Lifetime as needed.

Note: It is recommended to place the TapEffect component on a higher-layer UI element so that ripples render on top of other UI elements.

API

Property	Description
MaxCount	The maximum number of simultaneous tap effects. Changing this at runtime resets the internal graphics buffer counter.
Lifetime	The duration in seconds of each tap ripple animation.
raycastTarget	Always false; the component never blocks raycasts.
