Why is the explosion particle in my script not showing up?

Asked 157 views1 answers

I made this script that's supposed to make a wall disappear and show an explosion effect when you click it, the wall disappears but the particle doesn't show up

script.Parent.MouseClick:Connect(function(click)
	local explosion = Instance.new("Explosion")
	explosion.Position = script.Parent.Parent.Position
	script.Parent.Parent:Destroy()
end)

I also put the actual vector 3 position but it still doesn't do anything, can someone tell me what im doing wrong?

This should work (the reason it is not working is because you are not parenting the explosion to the workspace (do it like this)):

script.Parent.MouseClick:Connect(function(click)
    local explosion = Instance.new("Explosion")
    explosion.Parent = game.Workspace
    explosion.Position = script.Parent.Parent.Position
    script.Parent.Parent:Destroy()
end)

Thanks! this worked. Im assuming you have to add it's parent because the game doesn't know where the explosion should go right?
