for some reason my particle system doesn't spawn, each hit should spawn 3 particles, 2 slashes and 1 oval sparks

from the video you can see that for some reason the oval sparks don't spawn sometimes, you can also tell by the particle system counter on the top left

there is also an image for how i call the function to spawn the particle as well as the spawn particle function itself

pls help if anyone knoww what is going on

part_system_create doesn't spawn particles

In fact, what you are creating is a memory leak, creating all those particle systems all the time without destroying them (think, instance_create every frame)

what you want is part_particles_create or part_particles_burst to actually spawn the particles, and then calling part_system_destroy after you're done

#

all the particle-related variables like part_type you extract from the particle system using particle_get_info

#

something along the lines of this

read the docs and read other helps relating to particle_get_info for more information on how to do this
