# Create your own effects

In TextAnimator for Unreal you can create custom effects in many different ways.

* [Create effects in the Editor](/text-animator-unreal/customization/create-your-own-effects/create-effects-in-the-editor.md)
* [Writing Custom Effects (C++)](/text-animator-unreal/customization/create-your-own-effects/writing-custom-effects-c++.md)

Feel free to choose the best methods that better fit you! (Here is a list of [built in effects](/text-animator-unreal/effects/built-in-effects-list.md) instead)

### Recommendations <a href="#recommendations" id="recommendations"></a>

{% hint style="warning" %}
As you'll discover, thanks to custom effects you’re able to create pretty powerful combinations and results. That said (as with anything powerful) **it’s up to you to use them wisely**! In theory you could create an endlessly reference of animations inside each one, resulting in a stack-overflow or frame drop if you have too many texts/animations on screen for example, so please be careful to not overdo things!

That said… have fun!

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.febucci.com/text-animator-unreal/customization/create-your-own-effects.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
