Emitting Function Erroring

[rotund hull]

function module.Emit(Ins : Instance, Recursive : boolean?, DestroyOnFinish : boolean)
    if DestroyOnFinish then
        local con = Ins.ChildRemoved:Connect(function()
            if #Ins:GetChildren() == 0 then
                Ins:Destroy()
            end
        end)
        task.delay(15,con.Disconnect,con)
    end
    for _, child : Instance in (if Recursive then Ins:GetDescendants() else Ins:GetChildren()) do
        if child:IsA("ParticleEmitter") then
            task.delay(child:GetAttribute("EmitDelay") or 0,child.Emit,child,child:GetAttribute("EmitCount") or 1)
            if DestroyOnFinish then
                task.delay((child:GetAttribute("EmitDelay") or 0) + child.Lifetime.Max,child.Destroy,child)
            end
        end
    end
end

I'm not sure if i've been looking at studio for too long, but i actually cannot even understand with this error is saying to me right now

I think you’re passing a number for the Ins argument, can I see you call the function?

[rotund hull]

local effect = script.LMB:Clone()
local RS = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local BF = require(RS.Modules.BaseFunctions)

return function(CFrame)
    effect.Parent = workspace.ServerFX
    effect.CFrame = CFrame
    for object in effect:GetChildren() do
        BF.Emit(object, true, true)
    end
end
```using a module to do it

[surreal void]

Alright

[rotund hull]

realizing i shouldn't even need to do it with a for loop since i made it recursive

[surreal void]

True

Oh

[plucky forge]

** You are now Level 6! **

[surreal void]

I see it

You are going for object in effect:GetChildren()

Instead do for index, object in effect:GetChildren()

since looping also gives you the number of that child

[rotund hull]

yeah i fixed up that whole section rq

return function(CFrame)
    effect.Parent = workspace.ServerFX
    effect.CFrame = CFrame
    BF.Emit(effect, true, true)
end
```it's just this now, however

it doesn't error

which is good

but

[surreal void]

But?

[rotund hull]

this cube you see is the vfx and it's not emitting

[surreal void]

Hmm I don’t see the error

Looking at it on my phone is pain lol

[rotund hull]

💀

sorry for your loss

[surreal void]

Thanks bro I need that

I’m sorry dude I don’t see why the code isn’t working, I think we’ve both been on studio for too long

But like check out the serverFx folder

[rotund hull]

yeah im so

confused man

💀

[surreal void]

Make sure it’s been copied properly

[surreal void]

I get it 💀

[rotund hull]

yo.

where did the emitters go.

😭

[surreal void]

That’s one heck of a question dude

But at least we know what’s wrong

[rotund hull]

indeed

[surreal void]

Hmm

[rotund hull]

okay

maybe it's cause the emitters are getting destroyed frame 1

[surreal void]

By what script?

Oh wait

Yeah I get what you mean

[rotund hull]

task.delay((child:GetAttribute("EmitDelay") or 0) + child.Lifetime.Max,child.Destroy,child)?

[surreal void]

Yeah

Do you have those attributes set?

EmitDelay?

[rotund hull]

lifetime yeah

emitdelay nah

[surreal void]

Well there we have it

[rotund hull]

but it's doing the addition tho

[surreal void]

Oh yeah

Dude I just spotted that

[rotund hull]

like if there's no delay it sets it to 0 and then adds how long it's meant to live so like

what the hell

aight imma repick this up in a bit 😭

if you have any ideas lemme know

[surreal void]

I will

Wait dude

[rotund hull]

wsp

[surreal void]

Wait i gotta double check my bad

[rotund hull]

ur good

[plucky forge]

** You are now Level 8! **

[surreal void]

It might be because the particle emittors are disabled (enabled = false)

I’m a bit unsure as I haven’t used them in a while
