Ghost Trail Creation in Game Code

The document contains a script for a ghost effect in a game, where a ghost fades out over time and disappears after a set lifetime. It also includes player mechanics for creating ghost trails during a dash action, with timers to manage the creation interval and duration of the trails. The script utilizes Godot's GDScript language and involves sprite manipulation and input handling for player actions.
