# Add an Effect to the Effect Manager
Let's create a quick sample that shows how to add a new **Effect** to the Controller.
For example: We want to create a Ring of dust when the [**Little Dragon Tiger**](https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/characters/creatures/64248?aid=1100lHT6) Jumps in place.
* Select any character you want to add the Effect. In this Sample we will use the LD Tiger.
* If the character does not have an [**Effect Manager**](/animal-controller/utilities/effect-manager.md) component, then we add it:
* Add a new Effect to the [Effect Manager](/animal-controller/utilities/effect-manager.md), Rename it *"Jump Dust"* and give it an **ID** of **50**
* Select the new Created Effect to show its properties:
* On the Effect Field ... lets select one of the already made Prefabs.. "**Dust Ring**"
* Set the [**Life**](/animal-controller/utilities/effect-manager.md#life) Parameter to **4**. This will Destroy the Instantiated Dust Ring After 4 Seconds.
* On the Parent Group, Drag the Root Gameobject of your Character to the [**Root Field**](/animal-controller/utilities/effect-manager.md#root).
{% hint style="info" %}
This will Instantiate the Dust Ring Effect in the Same Position as the Root Gameobject
{% endhint %}
* Set [**Use Rotation**](/animal-controller/utilities/effect-manager.md#use-root-rotation) and [**Is Child**](/animal-controller/utilities/effect-manager.md#is-child) to **False,** that way the Effect won't be child of the Parent Object and it will keep its original rotation instead of the Parent's rotation
* Now we need to call the Event when the Little Dragon Jump. Go to the Animator Controller of the Character and search for the Jump State Machine.
* Select the first starting jump animation of the Little Dragon and add a new `EffectBehaviour`
* On the **On Enter (Time = 0)** Set a new Play Effect with the Value of **50.**
**And that should be it!**
**Now every time the Little Dragon Jumps it will leave a Ring dust Effect:**
