Put UseLineTrail=yes on the projectile, along with LineTrailColor= & LineTrailColorDecrement=.

Here is my code but it shows no tracer.

[InvisibleTrace]
Inviso=no
Image=none
UseLineTrail=yes
LineTrailColor=255,0,0
LineTrailColorDecrement=32767
SubjectToCliffs=yes
SubjectToElevation=yes
SubjectToWalls=yes

Ah sorry, put the tags on the projectile's art code, not the projectile code in the rules.

That does'nt work either.

RULESMD

; Tracer Fire
[InvisibleTrace]
Inviso=no
Image=none
SubjectToCliffs=yes
SubjectToElevation=yes
SubjectToWalls=yes

ARTMD

; Tracer Fire
[InvisibleTrace]
Image=none
UseLineTrail=yes
LineTrailColor=255,0,0
LineTrailColorDecrement=16

Line trails definetely need a valid image.You can't say Image=none ,neither inviso=yes Also your decrement is too much, use 160 or similar near instead.

Problem is I don't know what image to use to translate into a tracer.
I tried the medusa but still nothing

ART
; Tracer Fire
[InvisibleTrace]
Image=MEDUSA
UseLineTrail=yes
LineTrailColor=255,0,0
LineTrailColorDecrement=1602

RULES
; Tracer Fire
[InvisibleTrace]
Inviso=yes
Image=MEDUSA
SubjectToCliffs=yes
SubjectToElevation=yes
SubjectToWalls=yes

LineTrailColorDecrement is again to high, dont use Inviso= & the Image= in the rules should point to the art code InvisibleTrace & not MEDUSA.
