How to make a neon effect in a shader?

Cocos

Hello, you may want to change the uv0 settings from the shader code. In the example they show on the manual, they made it so that the effect changes along the x-axis from the uv0.x value.

Try experimenting this value to get the effect that you want.

I am glad to hear that. It seems like that if you set rotation of your hero as 0. It looks like this. If it is. As you can see the direction of tank is not same as the direction of node.
