Creating a sonic boom scream attack animation/particles

  1. What do you want to achieve?

I want to make a attack where the player screams in the direction he’s facing (root look vector),
create this “sonic boom” effect and have it detect collisions (hitbox), which I’m gonna later use for inflicting damage/knockback.

  1. What is the issue?
    I have no idea how to make this, and no idea where to start. I’m don’t really know much about particles.

  2. What solutions have you thought of so far?
    I haven’t really tried anything because I don’t know where to start lol.

Any help would be appreciated!
