- I’ve created a landmine that takes between 0.5 and 2 seconds to fully arm. During that arming phase, I want a circular loading VFX to appear above it to visually indicate it's setting up, and then disappear once the timer completes. (I can handle making the VFX disappear later.) - The issue is that the **Emit()** command doesn’t seem to work as expected. The VFX only shows if I set the emitter’s Rate to something other than 0, but I want it to appear immediately using **Emit()** as soon as the landmine is placed. There are no errors or bugs—the script runs fine otherwise, except for that specific part. - Also, just to clarify, line 26 is: **settingup.Lifetime**, not **FlipbookFramerate**.
