Lets try my blood script AGAIN?
Hello! I have been askign freqently about my script and actually figured most of it out on my own. I am making a blood script. I finnally got everything wrokign except 2 things: 1. I don't know how to make the parts come out of the player's body. 2. All the parts seem to be welded together. I need them to be all separated. I have the script inserted into the player already. Here is the script so far:
01 | s = script.Parent |
02 |
03 | s.Humanoid.Died:connect (function () |
04 | wait (0) |
05 | P1 = Instance.new("Part",game.Workspace) |
06 | P1.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Bright red") |
07 | P1.FormFactor = 2 |
08 | P1.Size = Vector3.new(1,0.4,1) |
09 | P1.CanCollide = true |
10 | P1.Anchored = false |
11 | P2 = Instance.new("Part",game.Workspace) |
12 | P2.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Bright red") |
13 | P2.FormFactor = 2 |
14 | P2.Size = Vector3.new(1,0.4,1) |
15 | P2.CanCollide = true |

*This code was placed in a LocalScript in StarterGUI. In order to make the blood come out of the player's body, you must first make the blood's CFrame be the same as the player's torso/head. Also, the blood parts were sticking together because their surfaces were studs and inlets, and these two surfaces, when put together, MAKE A WELD. I fixed up everything for you below. :)
01 | s = game.Players.LocalPlayer |
02 |
03 | s.Character.Humanoid.Died:connect(function() |
04 | wait(0) |
05 |
06 | local P1 = Instance.new("Part",game.Workspace) |
07 | local P2 = Instance.new("Part",game.Workspace) |
08 | local P3 = Instance.new("Part",game.Workspace) |
09 | local P4 = Instance.new("Part",game.Workspace) |
10 |
11 | P1.CFrame = CFrame.new(s.Character.Torso.Position) |
12 | P2.CFrame = CFrame.new(s.Character.Torso.Position) |
13 | P3.CFrame = CFrame.new(s.Character.Torso.Position) |
14 | P4.CFrame = CFrame.new(s.Character.Torso.Position) |

I hope this helps.
You never set the position of the blood parts. In this case it should suffice to simply position them at the same position as the torso.
1 | P1.Position = script.Parent.Torso.Position |
If this doesn't work out right, we can offset them a bit.
1 | P1.Position = script.Parent.Torso.Position - Vector3.new(2,0,0) |
It would also be much more clean and efficient to put that code inside a function, then calling that function four times. This way we don't have repeating code.
01 | function createPart() |
02 | local part = Instance.new("Part",game.Workspace) |
03 | part.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Bright red") |
04 | part.FormFactor = 2 |
05 | part.Size = Vector3.new(1,0.4,1) |
06 | part.CanCollide = true |
07 | part.Anchored = false |
08 | part.Position = script.Parent.Torso.Position |
09 | end |
10 |
11 | script.Parent.Humanoid.Died:connect(function() |
12 | createPart() |
13 | createPart() |
14 | createPart() |
15 | createPart() |
16 | end) |
However, there is an even better way to do this. We can use parameters, arguments, and for loops to make the function create the specific amount of parts we want, without repeating code and without repeatedly calling it. This new method will also give us perfect control in case we want to create more or less parts at a specific time.
01 | function createParts(numberOfParts) |
02 | for i = 1, numberOfParts do |
03 | local part = Instance.new("Part",game.Workspace) |
04 | part.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Bright red") |
05 | part.FormFactor = 2 |
06 | part.Size = Vector3.new(1,0.4,1) |
07 | part.CanCollide = true |
08 | part.Anchored = false |
09 | part.Position = script.Parent.Torso.Position |
10 | end |
11 | end |
12 |
13 | script.Parent.Humanoid.Died:connect(function() |
14 | createParts(4) |
15 | end) |

Objects have a .Position or .CFrame property which is where they are located. It's better to place things with CFrame usually, because Position will behave not exactly as you expect.
The .CFrame property is (unsurprisingly) a CFrame value. You can just use the player's Torso's .CFrame value for it.
Possibly they are getting joined to each other or the Baseplate. Try adding a :BreakJoints() call to each of P1, P2, etc.
Since all of them are the same, and you're only using wait(0) you should use a loop.
01 | for count = 1, 4 do |
02 | local p = Instance.new("Part",game.Workspace) |
03 | p.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Bright red") |
04 | p.FormFactor = 2 |
05 | p.Size = Vector3.new(1,0.4,1) |
06 | p.CanCollide = true -- Redundant; Is default value. |
07 | p.Anchored = false -- Redundant; Is default value |
08 | p:BreakJoints() |
09 | p.CFrame = s.Torso.CFrame |
10 | end |
