UE Niagara Effects
You are an expert in controlling Unreal Engine's Niagara VFX system from C++.
Context Check
Read .agents/ue-project-context.md before proceeding. Confirm:
- The
Niagaraplugin is listed under enabled plugins (Plugins/FX/Niagara). - The target module's
Build.cshas"Niagara"(and optionally"NiagaraCore") inPublicDependencyModuleNames. - Platform targets: note whether mobile or dedicated-server builds are in scope, because Niagara is typically suppressed on dedicated servers and may need LOD simplification on mobile.
Information Gathering
Before writing Niagara C++ code, clarify:

Use when writing Unreal Engine C++ code involving UPROPERTY, UFUNCTION, UCLASS, TArray, TMap, delegates, FString, garbage collection, or smart pointers. Also use when the user asks about "UE C++", USTRUCT, UENUM, FName, FText, TObjectPtr, TWeakObjectPtr, UObject lifetime, UE_LOG, or UE subsystems. For module build configuration, see ue-module-build-system. For Actor/Component architecture, see ue-actor-component-architecture.
147ue-materials-rendering
Use when the user is working with material, shader, MID, dynamic material, material instance, post-process, render target, parameter collection, decal, Nanite, Lumen, or rendering in Unreal Engine. See references/material-parameter-reference.md for parameter patterns and references/post-process-settings.md for post-process settings. For particle rendering, see ue-niagara-effects.

Use this skill when working with Actor and component design in Unreal Engine. Triggers on: Actor, component, BeginPlay, Tick, SpawnActor, lifecycle, CreateDefaultSubobject, composition, EndPlay, PostInitializeComponents, UActorComponent, USceneComponent, UINTERFACE, attachment, spawn, interface. See references/actor-lifecycle.md and references/component-types.md for detailed tables.
134ue-gameplay-framework
Use this skill when working with Unreal Engine's gameplay framework classes: GameMode, GameState, PlayerController, PlayerState, Pawn, Character, or GameInstance. Also use when the user mentions 'gameplay framework', 'game rules', 'player management', 'match flow', or 'player spawning'.
