Why won't my VFX emit?

[tropic anvil]

For some reason, my particle emit function only worked when I took the VFX from replicated storage into the vfx folder. But now it doesn't work when I clone it.

[glad nebula]

local debris = game:GetService("Debris")
local event = rs:WaitForChild("SlashVFX")

event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr)
    local char = plr.Character
    local hum = char and char:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
    local hrp = char and char:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
    
    if not hum or not hrp then return end

    -- freeze the player
    hum.WalkSpeed = 0
    
    -- spawn the vfx
    local slash = rs.VFX.Sword:Clone()
    slash.CFrame = hrp.CFrame
    slash.Parent = workspace.Fx
    
    -- fast emit loop
    for _, v in slash:GetDescendants() do
        if v:IsA("ParticleEmitter") then
            v:Emit(v:GetAttribute("EmitCount") or 25) -- take a look, you can change the 25 if the code doesnt find an attribute, feel free to change
        end
    end
    
    -- clean up and unfreeze
    debris:AddItem(slash, 1.7)
    
    task.delay(1.1, function()
        if hum.Parent then
            hum.WalkSpeed = 16
        end
    end)
end)```

try this'

i made comments so its easier for u to find errors

errors doesnt seem the right way to type it but it is lol

[tropic anvil]

i see

[hoary robin]

** You are now Level 2! **

[tropic anvil]

ill try this

the particles still dont emit

[glad nebula]

Where is the script located

[tropic anvil]

SSS

the part shows up

i stop moving

no errors

just no vfx

[glad nebula]

Sss doesnt see local scripts

Thats the problem prolly

[tropic anvil]

it can if i fire it

thats why i have the on server event

and the script itself isnt a local script

[glad nebula]

Ima try to code it rq

[tropic anvil]

ok so

i got it to work

but i have to put a wait before i emit it?

[glad nebula]

if ya want to delay it

also the script i provided is supposed to be a mormal script

normal

[tropic anvil]

yea it i

is

it emits now

[glad nebula]

gj

[tropic anvil]

but only after I put a wait before

the emit loop

[glad nebula]

didnt expect that to be thee problem lol

[tropic anvil]

idk why that is

i mean there isnt a delay

its just weird

[glad nebula]

lemme try to fix it without a wait

local debris = game:GetService("Debris")

local vfxFolder = rs:WaitForChild("VFX")
local swordModel = vfxFolder:WaitForChild("Sword")
local event = rs:WaitForChild("SlashVFX")

event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr)
    local char = plr.Character
    local hum = char and char:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
    local hrp = char and char:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
    
    if not hum or not hrp then return end

    hum.WalkSpeed = 0
    
    local slash = swordModel:Clone()
    slash.CFrame = hrp.CFrame
    slash.Parent = workspace:WaitForChild("Fx")
    
    for _, v in slash:GetDescendants() do
        if v:IsA("ParticleEmitter") then
            v:Emit(v:GetAttribute("EmitCount") or 25)
        end
    end
    
    debris:AddItem(slash, 2)
    
    task.delay(0.7, function()
        if hum and hum.Parent then
            hum.WalkSpeed = 16
        end
    end)
end)``` just needed wait for child

[tropic anvil]

wow

[glad nebula]

the problem with the wait is that if the player has a bad pc it can be not enough of time for a slow pc, for a fast pc it just wastes time

[hoary robin]

** You are now Level 7! **

[glad nebula]

its not optima

optimal

[tropic anvil]

ah

well

i see where you put the wait for child

but thats a folder

so

i dotn know where to put it

[glad nebula]

ohh

put the script i sent u in sss

[tropic anvil]

which one

[glad nebula]

the latest one

but if u want u can use the wait command but put it below 0.001 seconds

its not optimal if its 1 second +

[tropic anvil]

ok
