i think im going abt this wrong, i wanna make it so that when the script gets an event, it clones a particle w a part and has it follow the player around, and when it gets the 2nd event it getrs destroyed. it wont spawn the clone ```lua
local event = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("flashsteps")
local character = script.Parent.Parent
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local torso = character:WaitForChild("Torso")
local event2 = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("flashstepsOFF")

local rs = game.ReplicatedStorage

local flashstepping = false

local uis = game:GetService("UserInputService")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
local flashstep = rs.vfx.FLASHSTEP:Clone()
flashstep.Parent = game.ServerStorage.flashsteps
event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
flashstepping = true
flashstep.Parent = torso
while true do
flashstep.CFrame = torso.CFrame
end
end)
event2.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
flashstep:Destroy()
end)
end)
end)

void spear Jul 9, 2025, 2:11 PM

jolly bridge Jul 9, 2025, 2:12 PM

#

void spear Jul 9, 2025, 2:13 PM

#

#

When you clone the flashstep

#

You parent it to server storage

#

wait no

#

jolly bridge Jul 9, 2025, 2:14 PM

#

yeah

void spear Jul 9, 2025, 2:16 PM

#

jolly bridge i think im going abt this wrong, i wanna make it so that when the script gets an...

            while true do
                flashstep.CFrame = torso.CFrame
            end

i may be wrong but could you try adding a "task.wait()" in this loop?

lost flint Jul 9, 2025, 2:17 PM

jolly bridge i think im going abt this wrong, i wanna make it so that when the script gets an...

also if this is a serverscript im pretty sure u cant use

local uis = game:GetService("UserInputService")

as thats dependant on a client.

wouldnt it still error out if you even try to define it? i havent personally tried it before so 😔

void spear Jul 9, 2025, 2:18 PM

#

I’m not sure

#

Also maybe try use humanoid root part

#

Instead of torso

lost flint Jul 9, 2025, 2:19 PM

#

void spear I’m not sure

ill be sure to test it out later!

void spear Jul 9, 2025, 2:19 PM

#

I’m assuming there aren’t any errors in output but could be, op hasn’t said

lost flint Jul 9, 2025, 2:19 PM

#

void spear Instead of torso

good point, if the character is R15 the torso is divided in two im pretty sure.

#

*upper and lower torso

#

@jolly bridge could you send over output?

jolly bridge Jul 9, 2025, 2:20 PM

lost flint Jul 9, 2025, 2:28 PM

#

where is your script located?

#

actually no thats irrelavant

#

are you sure the player is loading?

jolly bridge Jul 9, 2025, 2:30 PM

#

lost flint are you sure the player is loading?

ion think the player loading, cus it wont print that they found the player

lost flint Jul 9, 2025, 2:30 PM

#

jolly bridge ion think the player loading, cus it wont print that they found the player

loading as in, can you move around in viewport after clicking play?

#

is your avatar visible

jolly bridge Jul 9, 2025, 2:31 PM

#

yeah

#

eveything is loaded

lost flint Jul 9, 2025, 2:31 PM

#

jolly bridge yeah

thats odd, do me a favour

#

disable the "windcontroller" script

#

then play again

jolly bridge Jul 9, 2025, 2:32 PM

#

aight

#

output looks good but it still wont work

lost flint Jul 9, 2025, 2:33 PM

#

jolly bridge output looks good but it still wont work

oh wait.

#

could you, perhaps, move the script to SSS

jolly bridge Jul 9, 2025, 2:33 PM

#

lost flint could you, perhaps, move the script to SSS

alr

lost flint Jul 9, 2025, 2:33 PM

#

i think i get whats wrong

#

youre placing the script in startercharacterscripts

#

the problem is the script will only run AFTER the character loads

#

we need it to run before the character loads

#

hence SSS is the best place to put it

jolly bridge Jul 9, 2025, 2:34 PM

#

ah

#

hold on i gotta re define stuff

yeah thats good

but it says smth locked?

#

lost flint Jul 9, 2025, 2:39 PM

yes, im pretty sure its because you are running an indefinite loop

even after flashstep is being destroyed the game tries to change its cframe
