How would you pass multiple values for a particle emitter?

Asked 244 views1 answers

Im trying to have a particle emitter get generally more violent when the playback loudness of an audio goes over a certain amount but i dont know how to pass multiple values into the particle emitter.

local PE = game.Workspace.FireThing1.ParticleBrick.ParticleEmitter
local NP = game.Workspace.NowPlaying
local V = game.Workspace.NowPlaying.Sooooooooong
local PE = game.Workspace.FireThing1.ParticleBrick.ParticleEmitter

game.Workspace.NowPlaying.ChildAdded:Connect(function()
	local sound = game.Workspace.NowPlaying:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Sound")
	local PL = sound.PlaybackLoudness
	repeat
		PE.Lifetime = (1.5)(2.5)
		PE.Size = 7
		PE.Speed = 6
		PE.SpreadAngle = (10)(10)
		wait(.5)
		PE.Lifetime = (2.5)(3.5)
		PE.Size = 4
		PE.Speed = 5
		PE.SpreadAngle = (5)(5)
		print("I ran")
		wait(.5)
	until (V.Value == false)
end)

i tried this but it doesnt seem to work.

-- fixed example of your code
local PE = game.Workspace.FireThing1.ParticleBrick.ParticleEmitter
local NP = game.Workspace.NowPlaying
local V = game.Workspace.NowPlaying.Sooooooooong
local PE = game.Workspace.FireThing1.ParticleBrick.ParticleEmitter

workspace.NowPlaying.ChildAdded:Connect(function()
    local sound = game.Workspace.NowPlaying:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Sound")
    repeat
 local PL = sound.PlaybackLoudness
        PE.Lifetime = NumberRange.new(1.5,2.5)
        PE.Size = 7
        PE.Speed = 6
        PE.SpreadAngle = NumberRange.new(10,10)
        wait(.5)
        PE.Lifetime = NumberRange.new(2.5,3.5)
        PE.Size = 4
        PE.Speed = 5
        PE.SpreadAngle = NumberRange.new(5,5)
        print("I ran")
        wait(.5)
    until (V.Value == false)
end)
-- the playbackloudness method
local PE = game.Workspace.FireThing1.ParticleBrick.ParticleEmitter
local NP = game.Workspace.NowPlaying
local V = game.Workspace.NowPlaying.Sooooooooong
local PE = game.Workspace.FireThing1.ParticleBrick.ParticleEmitter

workspace.NowPlaying.ChildAdded:Connect(function()
    local sound = game.Workspace.NowPlaying:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Sound")
    repeat
	local PL = sound.PlaybackLoudness
        PE.Lifetime = NumberRange.new(PL/485,PL/500) -- PL/whatever number you want, max "loudness" is usually around 500, you could also do some advanced math to do it based on song length and pitch
        PE.Size = PL/490
        PE.Speed = PL/480
        PE.SpreadAngle = NumberRange.new(10,10)
        print("I ran")
        wait()
    until (V.Value == false)
end)
