ParticleEmitter is not emitting nothing 😭

[icy grove]

Hi, i just know a bit how to read lua code, and i try to made a very dumb pet sim game to play it with friends, so i used AI and some code i found to make almost all, but i just cannot do a script than when a coin breaks it drops particle, i try to a code than copys a part wich has a particle emitter, but it just dont work, what can i do? is the first game i actually try to do, so sorry if its a dumb question (I know stealing code is bad but this is just a silly game i want to play with friends)

This is the script im ussing

[analog timber]

sounds like a silly waste of our time!

[icy grove]

Ofc, but i have nothing better to do with my life rn

[analog timber]

what does that have to do with my time?

[icy grove]

the fact than u are also here? idk, manage your time as your want

[agile hamlet]

not too sure but i assume particle emitters dont work instantly so, try adding a small amount of wait before emitting?

and, i recommed instead of making the emitter from scratch using scripting, make an already exist]ing one and clone it to the toilet effect part

to garuantee its not a problem with the values of the particle emitter

gl!

[arctic jasper]

lmao

no way they made such a mistake

[quick flower]

nvm bruh i missed smth again

sry ignore me

[icy grove]

i read that message u send i was thinking how much dumb i am

[arctic jasper]

where is this placed?

[quick flower]

yes this is a common problem @icy grove its bc there is a slight delay to the particle emitter, the exact time i dont know, but i have come across this problem several times. What I did before was emit the particles BEFORE the "coin break" to sync it, however this is unstable and unreliable

[icy grove]

i mean, its a pet sim game, i think if i add a wait ime efore emitting the ones who breaks it fast will seem it with delay ig

[icy grove]

Inside the model of the breakable

[arctic jasper]

as what type of script?

sorry just making sure

[icy grove]

Script

[icy grove]

yeah dont worry, i put localscript one time

[arctic jasper]

then idk

[icy grove]

Soo, there isnt a easy way to do it?

[quick flower]

you could do this: instead of emitting AFTER the break, you could do it before the break (delay the break so they both sync)

[icy grove]

i dont wanna expend days in making just a particle, cuz i wanna make the game soon

[icy grove]

Okay, i will try

[icy grove]

dont worry, thanks for trying to help

[quick flower]

honestly, it depends on what you want your game to become, if you just want to practise scripting, then you can skip the particles. You could make the coin break in an equally satisfying way, ill give u a script

[icy grove]

I mean, the game idea started like a joke with school friends saying "imagine pet sim 99 but brainrot" and i satart making one of skibidi toilet, just for fun

and when i start trying the particles, it turns fun into pain 😭

[agile hamlet]

task.wait(0.001)

[icy grove]

im not trying to make a viral game or smth

[icy grove]

alr, i dont knowed than lua can handle decimals

[quick flower]

for i, v in ipairs(skibidiModel:GetChildren())
  while v.Transparency < 1.01 then
    v.Transparency += 0.01
    v.Size += Vector3.new(0.1,0.1,0.1) --you can adjust this to smaller or larger if you want
    task.wait(0.01)
  end
end

[agile hamlet]

btw make sure to do this if that doesnt also work

[quick flower]

@icy grove

[icy grove]

Why transpareency? what it will do?

[agile hamlet]

how visible the object is

[quick flower]

basically my script makes the parts in the model become larger and more transparent, like a fading animation when you break them

[icy grove]

u mean, downloading a free asset? i dont understand it sorry

[icy grove]

makes sense, i put it at the end of the code?

[quick flower]

put it in the if health <= 0

[icy grove]

okay, tysm instantiate

[meager pecan]

** You are now Level 2! **

[agile hamlet]

make particle emitters

like, the object

[quick flower]

and remember to put a skibidiModel:Destroy() to destroy it

[agile hamlet]

store it somehwere like replicated storage

use Clone() to clone the object

for example

[icy grove]

yeah i know, but i tryied to make a invisible part with particleemitter inside than when i break a breakable, the part apears for a second and drop some particles

[icy grove]

I deleted it for error ig, thanks

[agile hamlet]

local orginparticleemitter = game.ReplicatedStorage.Template
local newparticleemitter = orginparticleemitter:Clone()
newparticleemitter.Parent = yourparentobj

[quick flower]

yes, it can error bc the script runs slightly longer than the destroy meaning it will be running on nil, and therefore think something is wrong
put a return after the Destroy, everything works

[icy grove]

Okay, i will try it later, tysm, u helpeed me a lot

[quick flower]

np, i wish you success on your game!!

[agile hamlet]

im js saying that i recommed not creating particles using scripts just to make sure

[icy grove]

yeah, i try it on the cod ei send, it was a dumb idea

but thanks

[agile hamlet]

np, gl on your game

Skibidimodel 😭 😭

[quick flower]

thats what he wrote on his code i just copied it
